Tasting Notes

An exuberantly spicy and floral nose features a variety of red berry fruit scents laced with hints of sandalwood and Asian spices. There is a silky and restrained mouth feel to the intense, concentrated and detailed flavors that brim with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the moderately firm tannins on the mildly herbaceous and oak-influenced finale. This seems quite ripe yet the herbaceous character of the finish is cause for minor concern.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (53), January 2014

The 2012 Echezeaux Grand Cru has a complex bouquet with touches of dark plum and mulberry infusing the red berry fruit. The oak is nicely married into the fruit profile here: open and generous. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied quality on the entry, spicy black fruit, dried orange peel and an effervescent finish that fans out nicely across the mouth. This is a pretty, feminine and vivacious Echezeaux that should age beautifully.
