Echézeaux, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2001

Also quite spicy but with rounder, slightly bigger and more powerful flavors that display outstanding intensity. This is delicious in the best sense of the word and offers more finesse than Echézeaux usually does and finishes with a good lashing of ripe tannins.

Good healthy deep red. Red fruits, coffee and minerals on the nose. Sweet and full but bright, with cool notes of minerals and menthol contributing to the impression of energy. Finishes firmly tannic but not dry, with lovely perfume. A very good showing.
