  The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru was demonstrating a pleasant, subtle reduction like the Les Brûlées that after racking will disappear by the time of bottling. I like the delineation and clarity here, perhaps more than the Les Brûlées. There is a spark - an edge, so to say. The palate is medium-bodied, a mixture of red and black fruit, crisp and well balanced with a slightly savory, dried blood finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a well-made Echézeaux, one of the best I have tasted from the domaine in recent years. Drink Date 2019 - 2032

  A moderately toasty nose reveals notes of essence of black cherry, violet, sandalwood and Asian-style tea. The sleek, intense and rich middle weight plus flavors possess excellent volume before terminating in a velvety, sappy and notably firm finish that is sneaky long. This vibrant effort should amply reward 12 to 15 years of bottle age yet be approachable after only 5 to 7. Drink 2027+
