Grands Echézeaux, Nicolas Potel 2005

An intense and expressive nose of subtle wood spice combines with red pinot and black currant notes plus almost pungent warm earth notes that continue onto the big, robust and sleekly muscled full-bodied flavors that are linear and more obviously structured on the cool, fine and pure finish that goes on and on. Patience will be required but this should amply reward a decade or more in the cellar.
