Silky tannins frame a core of expressive red berries

This is an impressive built-to-age Bâtard

strong earth notes and a hint of the vegetal that slide into rich

But hard work does pay off

Georges Noellat, Echezeaux Vintage:2018 Silky tannins frame a core(from a . 07 ha parcel in Cruots). Here too a deft touch of wood sets off the spicier and more complex aromas that combine plum, black and blue fruit with a broad range of floral elements. The bigger, richer and more concentrated if less evident mineral driven medium bodied flavors culminate in a youthfully austere, long and bitter cherry pitinfused finish. This seductive effort should be approachable on the younger side but reward extended keeping.
