Domaine d’Eugenie Grands Echezeaux 2014

I have been reluctant to taste the 2014s during the last couple of years, as they have been closed down. I did however have a very pleasant surprise with this Grands Echezeaux 2014, tasted blind in Vosne-Romanée close to its origins. Decanted and open for business, it is still youthful, but with some maturing notes – finely grained sous-bois with some hints of truffle and Vosne spices, violets and a whiff of peony. On the palate, generous for the vintage and starting to soften towards a silkier expression. A very enjoyable Grands Echezeaux in the making.
