DRC Grands Echezeaux 2011 750mL (Nicked Label)

Dark cherry, plum, cloves and menthol are some of the many notes that wrap around the palate in the 2011 Grands-�ch�zeaux. This is an especially dark, somber Grands-�ch�zeaux. Today the tannins are quite firm and the wine is holding back much of its potential, but it possesses superb depth that will only fully emerge after a number of years in the cellar. Sweet tobacco, savory herbs and leather wrap around a finish infused with gravitas." - Vinous, AG94+, tasted 3/2014
