The 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a melange of red and black,mineral-driven fruit on the nose that is palpable despite a touch of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins that are deftly intermarried with the finely tuned acidity. I like the energy, the sense of animation in this Echézeaux that gently builds to a mocha-tinged finish. There is just a tingle of black pepper lingering on the aftertaste. Excellent.
