The bottle was far from fulfilling the expectations I had: the wine was big and powerful, very rich and concentrated (but how can it be different with yields close to 15 hl/ha?) and with no overripe fruit, but was quite simplistic in it's aromatic pattern and palate was far from the most balanced or refined you can dream of. There was no tension or lift in the mid-palate, this could be a bad bottle since there was a tiny leakage through the cork, but I also feel this bottle was past it's prime.

Domaine d'Auvenay (Lalou Bize-Leroy) Auxey-Duresses Les Boutonniers 2000 Beau nez clairement Bourguignon, fruit jaune avec un peu de noisettes et de sésame, du citron. Un vin puissant, d’une bonne richesse, une certaine classe, mais que je trouve un peu asséchant en finale (le bois). 90 pts

Gele kleur, geur is intens met mineraliteit ten top, echt puur en zuiver. ook wat fruit, gele appel en licht wat citrus, smaak is strak met mooie sterke zuren en heel veel intensiteit. zuiver en heel veel finesse. prachtig drinken, mooie ervaring, zo hoort het.

Seattle Tasting Group does Burgundy (Seattle, WA, USA): I rated this wine lower than any other taster (average score of 91 among the other folks). This shows heavy notes of butter-brickle and toasted marshmallow. The mouthfeel is nice and lush, oily, yet with more oak than I would prefer. The finish is ripe, especially with air and as it warmed, showing notes of banana.

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys Auction; 10/27/2017-10/28/2017 (Charlie Palmer Steak - Washington, DC): Dark color, musty/ oxidative nose. Better flavors are slightly more fresh, but not worth trying to squeeze out some enjoyment vs the better bottles around the table today.
