A rare disappointing Richarde I tried so far. It gave the signature complex and grande bouquet with around 4-6 hours of bottle breathing. But the palate was thin and lean and without the structure you should expect from this d'Auvenay. This is not my lucky day.

This bottle seems to be more powerful, riper than the last 2. Popcorn flinty nose became more apparent after 1.5 hours. Palate is on the full and rich side, yet finishes with layers of fruit and very long minerals filled finish, at a great place to consume.

Come un village riesca a tenere testa ad IL Grand Cru (bevuto assieme a Montrachet 1995 di Bouchard) e' un segreto che solo l'arzilla vecchieta possiede. Naso all'inizio leggermente formaggioso che poi si pulisce ed esce la polvere pirica, la frutta gialla, ed il peperone verde. Naso bello, inteso, ma se vogliamo un po' scontato. In bocca entra sguizzante, ha bella materia, e' vivo e dinamico ma da meta' bocca in poi si rilassa dove invece Bouchard cominciava a spingere vigoroso

flower day; allowed 1.5 hours breath which was clearly not enough; enjoyed in a four hours meal; superb bouquet -- nuts, lime, citrus, floral, slight butter and cream, popcorn; complex and layered; elegant yet powerful; structure strong enough to fill my tongue with spics, and acidity; gorgeous acidity in finish; what a sexy PM village!!!

Pretty much like last bottle but slightly less powerful. At a great place to consume.
