Tasting Notes

WA94–95

Red and black currant, purple plum, ginger spice, star anise and lily inform the mouth-watering nose of Potel's 2005 Echezeaux. Meaty richness and pulverized stone mineral character join an abundance of juicy fruit in the mouth, and a huge level of concentration proves compatible with a finish of utmost clarity, poise and elegance. This vibrant, finely tannic, superbly subtle wine goes well beyond the norm for its appellation. While it might well make old bones it may remain hard to resist even short term. Happily, at over 300 eventual cases, this is one of Potel's larger lots. Range: (94-95)

WS92

An animal note adds a wild dimension to this tightly wound red, which is tinged with black cherry, herb and mineral. Seems a little awkward because of its youth. The potential shows in its length. Best from 2011 through 2020. 80 cases imported.
