This is unusually powerful compared to what is typical for Echézeaux though it is not particularly complex but the underlying material is here such that it is reasonable that more will develop and my rating assumes that it will

I often find more similarities between Les Tosses and Dits del Terra than with the Arbossar

This also offers a noticeable step up in elegance with its pretty mix of red currant

Medium + weight

Probably the purest and most refined wine in the whole Ribera del Duero region

JL Chave Selection, Hermitage Farconnet other_regions_italy This is unusually powerful comparedThis shows mature notes, with espresso and warm cocoa melding into the mulled plum and blackberry fruit, while sauvage notes of tapenade, charcoal and bay leaf fill in on the finish. An underlying iron accent creeps along throughout. Hitting its stride already, but will hold in the cellar a bit. The debut bottling for Hermitage from Chave's ngoce portfolio. Drink now through 2020. 200 cases imported. JM
