smoke and underbrush adding interest to the briar and red berry fruit aromas that lead to serious

full and mouth coating finish thanks to the impressive amounts of dry extract

composed mainly of heavy clay

Marchand & Tawse, Echezeaux Size:3x750ml smoke and underbrush adding interest(from Les Treux and Rouge du Bas). A brooding if attractively perfumed nose features spicy notes of plum, dark raspberry and soft wood spice. The round and velvet textured flavors possess good volume and reasonable concentration though the lingering finish seems a bit flat and dull. There appears to be good underlying material so this could well come together, especially because the one thing that the 2017 vintage doesnt lack is energy. (89 91) 2029+
