Dominique Laurent Grands-Echezeaux Grande Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2016 skus_7530047 Mossback Central Coast Pinot NoirBright ruby. Much darker and less expressive on the nose than the Bonnes Mares, with dark berry and licorice notes dominating. Then juicy, spicy and quite tight, even imploded, in the early going, offering penetrating flavors of blackberry, licorice, violet, bitter chocolate and crushed stone. This wine is almost too concentrated and will need extended bottle aging to express itself. The tannins are tight and firm but not hard.
