The stunning floral depth to the nose is very attractive here with plenty of roses and violets, as well as ripe red cherries. Very plush, long and layered tannin weave with an expressive, fleshy and round center. There?s softness, as well as a bit of cut from the 50 per cent whole-cluster ferment. Try from 2022.

The 2017 Ech?zeaux Grand Cru offers up aromas of grilled meat, ripe fruit and dark chocolate, followed by a full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that’s somewhat figgy and firm. It’s seemingly somewhat overripe in profile this year, though it may just have been out of sorts when I tasted it.
