Domaine d'Eugénie Echézeaux Grand Cru 2011

An exceptionally spicy nose of very fresh black pinot fruit, cassis and discreet earthy nuances is trimmed in moderate wood. There is a wonderful purity to the middle weight flavors that also possess admirably fine-grained tannins on the seductively textured and impressively persistent finish that really fans out as it rests on the palate. This is a very solid effort in the context of the vintage. Drink 2023+. Score - 92. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, Jan. 15, 2014)
