2014 Echezeaux Les Rouges du Bas

The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a delightful, floral, cassis and red cherry-scented bouquet with fine mineralité, much more convincing than the Clos Vougeot. The palate is medium-bodied with quite juicy tannin. There is good substance and body here with a touch of spice filtering through on the long peacock's tail of a finish. Not a match for the Cros Parantoux perhaps, but still a serious proposition.
