The Faiveley Echezeaux comes from the climat La Combe d’Orveaux in the northern end of Echezeaux. The bouquet is offering fine red and dark fruits – slightly reductive currently. On the palate fine and quite generous fruit – a bit on the dense side offering plenty of stuffing. A weighty Echezeaux with good balance and length – a bit closed currently. Jun 2016, www.winehog.org
(from En Orveaux). Background wisps of wood easily allow the spiced and quite floral-scented plum, red currant and dark cherry aromas to shine. There is good minerality to the seductively textured, velvety and even opulent medium weight flavors that display good power and punch on the relatively refined, balanced and beautifully persistent finish. The supporting tannins are dense but fine and this should drink well after 7 to 8 years of bottle age yet successfully age for far longer if that’s your preference. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
