Emmanuel Rouget Echézeaux Grand Cru 2018
Red
Flagey Echezeaux, France
7.8

Dense dark fruit and savory herbs show promise, but oak dominates at this stage. Cedar and forest floor notes overwhelm the core of cassis and black cherry. The structure feels sound underneath, though integration remains elusive. Time should bring better harmony to this brooding Grand Cru.
