2011 Gerard Mugneret, Echezeaux Grand Cru 1x75cl

Burghound – 92

A mix of gentle wood influence and natural spice elements adds breadth to the ripe aromas of black cherry liqueur, cassis and plum. There is a wonderfully beguiling textured to the extract-rich medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with sap, all wrapped in a balanced and persistent finish that, like the 2012 version, is presently on the robust side. This will need several years as it is quite firmly structured. [15/01/2014]
