Henri Jayer Echezeaux 1995 (L9003 Bottle 206)

black raspberry and a hint of wood

concentrated

menthol and cloves with hints of cedar

underbrush and discreet humus nuances

Considering some of the great old vintages from the fifties and sixties

There is enough wood to notice along with a hint of menthol on the markedly earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas where background hints of spice and floral elements are in evidence

The 2015 Chateau Margaux is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon

This is actually quite similar in quality and expression though with just a bit more mid-palate concentration

precise and beautifully intense medium-bodied flavors that possess a refreshing salinity on the understated

black cherry and discreet earth nuances to be appreciated

Interestingly this is actually a bit more aromatically elegant with its super fresh nose of red cherry

full-bodied mouthfeel and super-richness and power
