2022 Echezeaux, Jean-Marc Millot

Cask sample. Meaty note on the nose. Dark-cherry fruit, some plum character coming through. Structured. Needs time. Tannins are rather drying. Has a plushness on the palate which will develop and soften with a few years in bottle. Powerful but also quite restrained and has elegance underpinning the power. ~ (17) Andy Howard, JancisRobinson.com 1-16-2024

Here too reduction flattens the fruit though there is a highly seductive texture to the plush, round and suave medium-bodied flavors that possess better volume on the lingering and well-balanced finale. ~ (93) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-10-2024
