2013 Echezeaux Les Rouges du Bas

The 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru was showing a little reduction on the nose when I tasted it from barrel. However, the palate is showing good promise: fine tannins here, a keen line of acidity and a surfeit of freshness and vitality. This is an elegant, feminine Echezeaux full of poise and grace, but I suspect it will need three or four years in bottle. This has great potential and represents one of the best from the domaine in 2013.
