Mugneret Gibourg Echezeaux 2018 750mL France especially considering that 2001 was"The 2018 Echzeaux Grand Cru has a tightly wound, intense bouquet of black fruit, briar, crushed limestone and a brushing of chalk dust. The palate is medium bodied with hints of licorice and menthol on the entry. Quite an exotic Echzeaux, more so than the 2019, it has great breadth and grip toward the finish. This will require several years in bottle" Vinous, AG94+ (NM), tasted 12 2020
