Dark cherries, plums, spices, menthol and licorice are some of the many notes that are woven together in the 2009 Grands- Echezeaux. I very much like the depth and intensity of the fruit. Today the 2009 appears to be holding much of its ultimate potential in reserve. Ideally the wine needs a few more years to flesh out. The fragrant, silky finish leaves me quite hopeful for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034. Importer: Atherton Imports, Menlo Park, CA; tel. (650) 328-6639
