Burghound (93)

This is the most floral wine in the range with its elegant, pure and intensely spicy nose that displays mostly notes of both red and dark currants. There is outstanding richness and volume to the big-bodied flavors that possess a lush, indeed opulent palate impression before concluding in a lingering if slightly woody finish. The old vines definitely show as there is fine phenolic maturity to the supporting tannins. Note that here too the depth is only average for a fine Ech at present though there is obviously plenty of time that will pass before this will be fully ready for prime time drinking.

from selected vines in a .36 ha parcel of Les Treux that was planted in 1945; the wine, which is intended to replace the prior cuvée known as Echézeaux Vieilles Vignes, comes in a special 3-bottle case that looks very much like a briefcase with snaps containing a brochure that explains the selection. For readers' edification, in watchmaking a complication is a function that is added to the hour, minute or second hand of a watch. An ultra-complicated watch is one where the movement combines all three complications in one and it is from this usage that the name La Grande Complication derives; made with 100% whole clusters and 100% new wood
