Georges Noellat, Grands Echezeaux Vintage:2022 Crème de cassis and blackberry(from a . 40 ha parcel). Reduction. As is usually the case the broad shouldered flavors possess more size and weight though perhaps a bit less than I usually see between the Ech and this wine. I like both the intensity and the polished mouthfeel that add appeal of the sappy and built to age finish that is hugely long but not really austere. In sum, this powerful effort should be capable of effortlessly aging over the next 15 to 20 years. (92 94) 2031+
