2010 Grands Echezeaux GC Grande Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 0,75 l Dominique Laurent

Good bright red. High-toned aromas of strawberry, menthol and spices. Began dusty and unforthcoming but opened beautifully in the glass to show outstanding creamy depth and mid-palate spiciness. Finishes lush and sweet, with outstanding, slowly building persistence.
