DRC, Grands Echezeaux

DRC, Grands Echezeaux(55 year old vines). In contrast to the expressive spiciness of the Echzeaux, this is a clear notch up in elegance and is clearly finer with an ultra high toned floral and spice infused nose that is almost completely closed in though this may be due to a subtle touch of reduction and I would suggest decanting this if youre going to try a bottle young. The linear and ultra pure medium full flavors trade more on finesse and refinement than what is

I doubt that the silky quality will last as I expect that this will shut down fairly hard for a few years before blossoming in a decade

lacy and beautifully energetic middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the detailed

fruitcake and sandalwood over a core of preserved plums

hedonistic wine with all the elements in the right place

Finishes on a resonating pear note

sous-bois and light mint aromas

after which it should last for 7-8 years

Deep cassis and very ripe plum notes introduce full-bodied

But hard work does pay off
