Echezeaux 2006

A relatively subtle touch of wood frames a highly spiced red berry fruit nose that displays nuances of earth and smoke that are in keeping with the rich, full, sweet and mouth coating flavors that are really quite supple, indeed even forward yet the finish is very firm and moderately austere. Like the best wines in this range, there is an impressive amount of dry extract that confers a textured quality to the backend. Don't miss!

Score: 93
