2015 Echezeaux

Average Score

Critic Notes

(from vines in Loächausses planted in 1989 and 1995). Moderate wood is present on the ultra-spicy black cherry, cassis and discreet earth and floral nuances. The super-rich and pliant medium weight flavors possess plenty of sappy dry extract that buffers the supporting tannins on the mocha-inflected and slightly warm finish. This will most please those who enjoy extravagantly rich burgundies though I can’t say that it’s for me. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
