As readers will remember

Gros Frere et Soeur, Grands Echezeaux other_regions_italy co-fermented(from a . 3 ha parcel replanted in 1985). Somewhat surprisingly given how clean the prior wines are, this is quite firmly reduced and in need of aeration. While there is excellent intensity to the medium weight flavors the finish is at once rustic and tangy, which is to say decidedly awkward. This may recover but its not especially well balanced today though the underlying material appears to be of excellent quality.
