DRC Grands Echezeaux 2013 750mL

Healthy dark red. An initial note of reduction dissipated to reveal sexy scents of raspberry, blueberry, smoky minerals and Oriental spices. Densely packed and vibrant, with concentrated berry fruit accented by pepper and spices from the stems. Firm tannins will support slow development in bottle. There's way more inner-mouth tension and �clat here than I found in the Ech�zeaux. An outstanding vintage for this bottling." - Vinous, AG94 (ST), tasted 11/2015
