Echezeaux Grand Cru 2020This is also ultra floral in character with more spice nuances and much less earth influence on the black pinot fruit coulis scents. There is again excellent density to the tautly muscular big bodied flavors that are, somewhat surprisingly, even more powerful, robust and tannic, indeed the strikingly long finish is borderline rustic. This very fine effort is definitely a wine to buy and forget you own it for at least a decade. Country Region: France,
