Wine Enthusiast

Charry, ashen notes of campfire and mesquite lend spice to charming raspberry and red-cherry flavors in this wine. A plump, fleshy expression of Grands Echezeaux, it's accented by cutting strikes of vitamin tablet and fine, firm tannins that extend the finish. The wine is best held till 2025 at least.

Gilbert & Gaillard

Rather sustained ruby color, beautiful appearance. Deep mineral and fruity nose, full of elegance. On the palate, a quality of texture, density, expression, in a very earthy register. Controlled power that bodes well for a bright future.

In the mouth this wine expresses notes of pulpy / fleshy blackberry, bright cherry and small notes of juicy / fresh / fleshy wild strawberry associated with touches of crushed red berries, violet, lily, cardamom, chocolate, almond as well as fine hints of tobacco and a subtle toasted hint. Tannins are elegant and structuring. Power on the finish. Beautiful persistence with toasted hints, crushed almond and vanilla.

Wine Enthusiast

Notes of smoke, mocha and roast pumpkin are restrained on the nose of this wine, hovering above a ripe cherry core. That same flavor combination appears on the palate, but here it is placed in a compact, firm structure pervaded by freshness and poise. Smoke and mocha hints carry a soft edge of vanilla, adding to the brooding elegance.
