Bouchard Pere et Fils, Echezeaux Vintage:2016 This has softened and shows(from a Domaine owned parcel in En Orveaux). Here the wood is a bit more modulated though still easily visible on the otherwise fresh, spicy and ripe red berry fruit liqueur like aromas. There is a cool and refined mouth feel to the delicious medium bodied flavors that possess a dusty and lightly mineral driven finish. This moderately structured effort could be enjoyed young or aged to good effect if desired. (91 93) 2024+
