2015 Echezeaux, Grand Cru, Lucien le Moine (6 x Bottle)
Saturated dark red. Deep, musky aromas of dark raspberry, mocha, licorice and minerals, with a chocolatey hint of the vintage's ripeness. Utterly silky and aristocratic, conveying an almost peppery coolness and superb energy to its flavors of dark berries, soil and saline minerality; extended aeration brought notes of redcurrant and tobacco. This classically dry wine was very tightly wound when I initially tasted it from barrel but today it offers a fabulous combination of fine-grained texture, definition and mineral energy, and a very long, rising finish featuring noble tannins. It may ultimately merit an even higher rating.

Vinous
(from en Orveaux): Bright medium red. Subdued but pure and intense on the nose, displaying a medicinal quality to the aromas of black cherry, dark berries, licorice and minerals. Juicy, firmly structured and tightly wound, in a distinctly cool, crunchy style with no easy sweetness. The Clos Vougeot is more complete today; this is pure and not reduced but incredibly compact and slow to evolve. Saouma, who described this wine as a bit of a monster, planned to give it a late bottling.
