Domaine Francois Lamarche Echezeaux 2018

A  beautifully layered blend is comprised by notes of a wide range of floral and spice elements that add elegance and breadth to the panoply of red berry fruit aromas. There is terrific intensity to the powerful, indeed even robust, big-bodied flavors that flex a taut muscularity on the serious, firm and youthfully austere finale. 

 he Echezeaux Grand Cru has a simple raspberry and crushed strawberry scented nose, clean but simple. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, firm and grippy with the same drying finish exhibited by other 2016s from this vineyard. What you might call a ”stunted” Echezeaux that is redeemed by its prettiness.
