Gerard Mugneret, Echezeaux Vintage:2016 with lovely energy and tension(from Les Quartiers de Nuits). An admirably subtle application of wood frames the overtly spicy aromas of plum, cassis, black cherry, sandalwood and Asian style tea wisps. The textured, concentrated and impressively powerful medium bodied flavors possess fine volume thanks to the copious amount of sappy dry extract that imparts a velvety mouthfeel to the delicious finish that tightens up quickly on the moderately austere and highly persistent finish.
