Jayer Gilles, Echezeaux Dessus Vintage:2018 great Bric del Fiasc(from ~50 year old vines). A markedly spicy wide ranging nose combines notes of red cherry, raspberry, plum liqueur and hints of Asian style tea. The supple and round middle weight flavors arent especially dense though they do possess a seductive texture before culminating in a lightly stony, long and powerful finale where a touch of warmth gradually emerges. While this is certainly very good, its perhaps not quite at its usual very high level.
