"Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru was backward and tight-lipped on the nose despite vigorous aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannin at the moment, hints of Earl Grey and bay leaf infusing the dark berry fruit, broody and almost Malconsorts-like in structure towards the finish. This has real density and ambition. Afford this several years in the cellar and you will have one of the best Echézeaux from this vintage. Tasted September 2016." Wine Advocate Interim, Nov 2016 |
