Additional Info
Vintage 2012 Burghound Issue 53: Here too a background touch of wood highlights the spicier and slightly more complex nose that is otherwise quite similar to that of the Ech. There is good volume and punch to the naturally sweet medium-bodied flavors that are also quite seductively textured before concluding in an impressively complex, balanced and driving finish that displays focused power. This is not a big Grands-Ech but it is beautifully proportioned. (91-93)/2022+
