Echezeaux Grand Cru 2014, Domaine Faiveley

“Good medium red. Medicinal cherry, licorice, peppery herbs and minerals on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. At once dense, fine-grained and juicy; seamless but a bit withdrawn, even reduced, offering savory mineral complexity to its redcurrant, raspberry and cranberry fruit flavors. Uncompromisingly dry wine in a cool, energetic, even slightly lean style, in need of patience. But there's lovely density of texture here. The tannins are firm-edged on the lively, youthfully medicinal back end. This grand cru gained in sweetness with extended aeration.” 92+/100 Stephen Tanzer, Mar 2017

“Mid crimson. Subdued on the nose, just a little spicy, and subtle on the palate. Dry but smooth texture. Lithe and lightly dark fruited. In harmony and very long, but could do with putting on a bit of weight.” 16.5+/20 Julia Harding, JancisRobinson.com May 2015
