This has a gorgeous profile of sweet fruit with sous bois complexity, incense, sweet spices, licorice and a whiff of Beaune earth in the form of manure/smoked meats. I love the combination of sweet and rich but savory complexity to the nose and palate. Rich, ample palate with slightly low acidity. Rich, gratifying with signature ripeness of the vintage with great layering. A huge "wow" performance for Beaune Avaux! 93-94. No rush!

Full ruby/garnet color with tiniest clear rim; fresh rich nose of burgundian pinot cherry fruit with raspberry and plums; very soft textured and balanced. Youthful and delicious.

Fairly certain this is my last bottle of this; better each time I’ve had it. Xavier94’s note of 4/15/22 describes it perfectly. 93+

Quite similar but slightly better than last bottle. Crunchy red fruit yet a bit mellow and an extremely long finish. Really nice wine!

2 Burgundy and a CDP Blind Tasting (Danville, Ca.): Big, rich fruit, brightest red color in the glass of the 3 tonight, lovely, cranberry taste, medium body, very soft and tasty tonight. My #2 of 3.
