There is outstanding richness and volume to the big-bodied flavors that possess a lush, indeed opulent palate impression before concluding in a lingering if slightly woody finish. The old vines definitely show as there is fine phenolic maturity to the supporting tannins. Note that here too the depth is only average for a fine Ech at present though there is obviously plenty of time that will pass before this will be fully ready for prime time drinking.
from selected vines in a .36 ha parcel of Les Treux that was planted in 1945; the wine, which is intended to replace the prior cuvée known as Echézeaux Vieilles Vignes, comes in a special 3-bottle case that looks very much like a briefcase with snaps containing a brochure that explains the selection.
