2006 Domaine Francois Lamarche Echezeaux Grand Cru, Echezeaux (750ml)

A very attractive blend of black fruit, Vosne spice and a hint of new wood introduces rich, full and notably ripe flavors that possess good volume and a velvety, indeed almost suave finish that cannot disguise the impressive power and robust structure. This will require the better part of a decade to fully resolve the tannic spine. (Drink 2014+) 90-92 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound (Jan 2008)
