Tasting Notes
-
Allen Meadows,
Score: 90-93The wood influence is a bit more pronounced though not so much as to intrude on the spicy and cool nose of plum, violet, dark cherry and Asian-style tea scents. There is excellent punch and delineation to the larger-scaled flavors that possess good richness and a caressing mouthfeel, all wrapped in a sappy and long finish where the oak telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. This is on the oakier side at present but appears to have the underlying material to eventually absorb it and my projected range implicitly assumes that it will.
Region
Echézeaux
One of two Grand Crus within the Flagey-Echezeaux area right in the heart of the Cote de Nuits. Relatively large and consequently diverse for a Grand Cru, the better Echézeaux wines undoubtedly deserve this status. As always in Burgundy vineyard location and grower is critical.
