Tasting Notes
Jasper Morris – 94-97
Bright fresh purple. A brilliantly exuberant nose, floral and fine, with a fabulous depth behind. One of several startlingly fine wines from Echezeaux this year, I think. Coming after the power of the Cortons, we can see a fine elegance here.
Burghound – 92-94
Notably ripe aromas combine notes of poached plum, tangerine peel-inflected chocolate, anise and once again a floral top note. The rich, succulent and admirably concentrated larger-scaled flavors also possess good underlying tension while delivering very fine length and depth on the dusty, austere and built-to-age finale. This too is going to need at least a decade of keeping before it will be reasonably approachable.
