the wine is deceiving in that it starts off slowly

The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity

It shows new dimension with each swirl of the glass

Francois Lamarche, Echezeaux Vintage:2012 the wine is deceiving in(from the climats of Les Rouges du Bas, Les Cruots and Clos St. Denis). A very attractive blend of black fruit, Vosne spice and a moderate dollop 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 slightly rustic tannic spine. 90 2014+
