Medium-plus ruby colour. A very high-toned and forward nose that slowly goes deeper and spicier. Fresh presentation, very nice texture, very good acidity and darker oak-driven notes. The oak is also on the finish, but darkly spicy rather than bitter. The tannins are quite well textured, just a little grain but they are very ripe.
Medium-plus cherry-red colour. The wide nose showcases well delineated soft red fruit and a little coffee too. High-toned fruit in the mouth that is both concentrated and bursts into life on the mid-palate. There is some astringency to the tannin but the combined sweetness of the fruit and the considerable spicy oak means that it’s not overpowering in the finish which also shows plenty of cream and just a touch of espresso. In quality terms this wine is quite close to the previous wine, just a little shorter and less precise – mainly due to the layer of sweet oak which I don’t find ‘additive’.
A new domaine to me, but one that looks worth searching out. A medium-plus ruby red core in the glass. Hints of black olive compliment the black-skinned cherry fruit on the nose, some spicy pepper too. Medium density is the impression on the palate but wide and intense is the fruit on the mid-palate. Interesting and complex though the acidity finished just a little roughly at first – rounding with time in the glass. Medium, medium-plus length, complex and with some nice sweetness. Also very good Echézeaux!!
Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour. The nose bears a striking family resemblance to the same domaine’s Echézeaux, dark cherry, lots of barrel-spice but no obvious toasty oak notes. Very good acidity that’s balanced with fresh but concentrated cherry fruit. Good length, just a little grain to the tannin too. Well-made and tasty.
