2012 Domaine AF Gros Echezeaux Grand Cru

The 2012 Echezeaux Grand Cru was taken from stainless steel vat. It has a deep, inward looking nose that loses its bashfulness in the glass, offering tempting scents of mulberry, raspberry and damp soil. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent, rounded entry. This feels fleshy in the mouth with black moving to red fruits towards the finish. This is a very respectable Echezeaux that should age extremely well. Review Date: December 2013
