Echezeaux 2015

This is both spicier and somewhat more expressive as well with its plummy aromas of tea, anise, clove, sandalwood and cassis. There is a rounder and much more seductive mouthfeel to the sappy and velvet-textured flavors that deliver fine length and reasonably good complexity for such a young wine. This is lovely and generous yet underneath the baby fat is a firm core of ripe tannins so this should age very well over the next 12 to 15 years.
