Gerard Mugneret, Echezeaux Vintage:2016 Medium to deep garnet in

Medium to deep garnet in color

This should be long-lived

with lovely energy and tension underpinning the fruit

It has a much more attractive bouquet than the 2015 Olivier with crushed strawberry

Just stays the right side of oak influence – the sweet vanilla character is apparent but not overt

Gerard Mugneret, Echezeaux Vintage:2016 Medium to deep garnet in(from Les Quartiers de Nuits). An admirably subtle application of wood frames the overtly spicy aromas of plum, cassis, black cherry, sandalwood and Asian style tea wisps. The textured, concentrated and impressively powerful medium bodied flavors possess fine volume thanks to the copious amount of sappy dry extract that imparts a velvety mouthfeel to the delicious finish that tightens up quickly on the moderately austere and highly persistent finish.
