It's fragrant

white flowers

austere and serious finale

it is the best of the triumvirate at the end of the decade

with building tannins and beautiful purity

Jayer Gilles, Echezeaux Dessus Size:6x1.5L It's fragrant(from ~50 year old vines). A markedly spicy wide ranging nose combines notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum liqueur and hints of Asian style tea. The supple and round middle weight flavors arent especially dense though they do possess a seductive texture before culminating in a lightly stony, long and powerful finale where a touch of warmth gradually emerges. While this is certainly very good, its perhaps not quite at its usual very high level.
