Smooth light with a slight peppery finish — 21 days ago
Superb new vintage of the flagship Domaine Serene. Beautiful wine, and great to be back at the Serene tasting room in downtown Portland. — a month ago
15 is a vintage I like — a hot year. This time I also drank it in two sessions: half the bottle from a decanter at the restaurant, and the remaining half the next morning.
Right after opening: the floral notes were so beautiful. Violets lingered around the rim of the glass like vines, and the tart plum and red fruit flavors were very sweet. Many people say sandalwood — I didn’t get it.
The next morning: fruit, game, wood smoke, and a savory, saline hint of seafood sauce. Grand Echézeaux still has more structure than Echézeaux. In the same vintage it has earthy and cedar notes; this one is a little lighter, not as muscular — which is the style I like. It has backbone, but the backbone isn’t that hard.
Palate: full-bodied, powerful, and concentrated. The tannins are firm but fine-grained. Even on the second day the acidity was excellent, and the finish was extremely long. Love it. — 2 months ago
Plum and strawberry. Berry pie and lifted red floral notes and pretty edges. Sophisticated and pure. — 38 minutes ago
Still dense yet not overpowering. Firm frame with years left. No brett. - at Archer — 3 days ago

PnP. Classic barnyard nose that eventually blows off. Complex wine with cherries, cedar, and rustic elements. Tons of terroir. One of my favorite producers and wines!! — 21 days ago
