Fellettig Echezeaux Grand Cru (750ML)
From Echezeaux
| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 92-95 Bh / 92-94 Wa. Note: from young vines in Les Treux that were planted in 2001 and typically produce about two barrels or 600 bottles annually; 20% whole cluster. Tasting note: This too is firmly reduced and aromatically unreadable today. Once again there is excellent volume to the exceptionally rich and beautifully concentrated flavors that possess first-rate power and punch while exhibiting strikingly good persistence on the impressively deep and balanced finish. This overtly robust and muscular effort is clearly built-to-age and is going to need at least a decade's worth. This too is excellent. The 2016 Echezeaux Grand Cru was not affected by frost and is matured in 50% new oak. Despite a tiny reduction, this has a lovely bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry, raspberry and floral scents of peony and rose petals. Good vigor and delineation in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, crisp acidity, a quite insistent grip in the mouth and it just closes in on the finish, implying that it will benefit from several years in the cellar.
