The 2013 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru has a strict and linear nose at first, a little aloof perhaps, but very well defined and focused with perfumed red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly grainy tannin, very good depth and yet it ""floats"" across the mouth, finally delivering the structure just on the masculine, austere finish. Again, it is very well proportioned and natural with a dash of spice lingering on the aftertaste. Utterly entrancing.
