Domaine de Courcel Grand Clos des Épenots 1er Cru 2011

This is also quite ripe yet retains a lovely freshness to the cassis, black cherry, lavender and warm earth scents. There is excellent power and volume to the concentrated, intense and mouth coating big-bodied flavors that culminate in an impressively long and balanced finish. This possesses both good power and superb length and is absolutely one to consider. Drink: 2023+. Outstanding. Score – 93. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, April 15, 2014)
