2016 GRANDS ECHÉZEAUX GRAND CRU DOMAINE D'EUGÉNIE - 6x75cl

Tasting Notes

  Goedhuis, November 2017

  This is extremely high quality, with a savoury attitude, and long balanced finish. With greater length and aromatic intensity than the Echezeaux, it is also narrower in the palate, with a long, fresh finish.

  There is an interesting hint of mandarin orange to the notably ripe but equally restrained aromas of black cherry, rose petal, cassis and a wide range of spice elements. Like the Ech this is a big, muscular and concentrated effort with excellent size, weight and punch to the broad-shouldered flavors that culminate in a palate coating, serious and strikingly long finish. This is even more firmly structured and at least moderate patience will be necessary. Drink: 2031+

  Bright dark red. Pure but reticent aromas of dark cherry, brown spices and minerals. Juicy and intense but youthfully imploded, showing terrific lift and a sexy hint of sweetness to its flavors of dark fruits, spices and saline minerals. Denser than the Echézeaux but also less austere; at once more airy and more sensual. The explosive rising finish features tactile, dusty saline minerality and terrific grip.
