Jean Grivot, Echezeaux 2008

The Echezeaux 2008 from Grivot is closing down. The bouquet is a rather dark expression of pinot fruit, without the red notes and minerality one find in many 2008 reds. On the palate also rather dark, with quite good concentration and length. Maybe a bit to much extraction … but otherwise very fine. Need time before it will show the full potential.

(Drink from 2017) Fine to Very Fine – 92p
