The feel is polished and the finish retains satisfying juiciness and stony grip. Niger had to intervene in tank with sulfur after this started into malolactic. It nonetheless showed well in late July 2016 and was, like the other l’Ecu “geological” bottlings, slated for September 2016 bottling. But I have not yet been able to connect with the finished wine in the US. At this point, I prefer to be conservative with my prognosis of ageability. - David Schildknecht”\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e- Vinous (May 2017), 88-89+ pts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecu (Guy Bossard)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948967784495,"sku":"F1EE109048MLS","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/ecu_gneiss_df0d7731-d954-47af-a415-01658aff319e.jpg?v=1771486277","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/guy-bossard-domaine-de-l-ecu-muscadet-gneiss-2015","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
