Note di degustazione
Good deep red. Sexy aroma of raspberry, orange blossom, Oriental spices, minerals, mulch and lightly vegetal herbs. Juicy, spicy and sharply delineated; tighter and more youthfully imploded than the Corton but quite pure. Finishes with firm tannins and a peppery element that gives the finish a slight tart edge in the early going.

I adored the 2012 Echézeaux Grand Cru from barrel and I adore it from bottle. Picked on September 29-30 at 22 hectoliters per hectare, those explosive aromatics from barrel are replicated here with bright red cherries, kirsch and rose petals, all beautifully defined and imbued with a sense of exuberance. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, a dash of white pepper on the tip of the tongue and a beautifully poised, elegant finish. This is an Echézeaux determined to be above its station. Wonderful. 1,057 cases produced.
Mid depth of crimson. Immediately much nervier and more savoury than the Corton just before it. Open and transparent with great savour and just a hint of milky coffee. But chiefly this is muscular and racy. Great energy and surprisingly open. It would be dangerously easy to drink it already. Presumably it will close up…? Not much change after 45 minutes though the energy is still impressive. (JR)
