2018 Comte Armand Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru [WA92][BH90]

"Offering up aromas of red berries, raspberries, plums and spices, the 2018 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru is medium to full-bodied, charming and succulent, built around lively acids and supple tannins. This is a pretty, elegant Auxey that defies stereotypes of the appellation. As usual, it's a blend of Bretterins and Duresses." 

"A slightly riper and more deeply pitched nose offers up notes of poached plum, dark berries and a whiff of the sauvage. The medium-bodied flavors are also sleek and appealingly well-delineated while exuding a subtle salinity on the youthfully austere and ever-so-mildly rustic finish that also exhibits a touch of bitter fruit character."
