2015 Philippe Pacalet Echézeaux Grand Cru

Good fresh medium red color. Pungent spice and rose petal high notes to the aromas of redcurrant, plum, cranberry and licorice; lovely vendange entier perfume. Suave and fine-grained, conveying terrific inner-mouth floral lift and energy. A juicy, sappy, soil-driven bomb of red berries, flowers and spices; more savory than sweet, showing no hard edges. Finishes with a serious dusting of fine-grained tannins and alluring floral lift. Sexy already but it would be a shame not to give this wine four or five years in the cellar to expand a bit and put on some weight.
