DRC Grands Echezeaux 2017 750mL [Embossed Operakallaren Collection]

"The 2017 Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru is a pretty big step up in this range, both in terms of depth, power and energy. Here the flavors are dark, while there is quite a bit of tannin lurking beneath. Black cherry, graphite, leather, smoke, spice and menthol infuse the 2017 with tons of virile, somber character. Readers will have to be very patient. A whole range of sepia-toned aromas and flavors shrouded in tannin add depth to an imposing Grands-Echezeaux built for cellaring." - Vinous, AG96, 3/2020
