Hadn’t tasted Audoin in many, many years, so I was genuinely curious to come back to him. This absolutely blew my mind. Incredible fruit purity, lifted and precise without getting precious, and probably the best Fixin I’ve ever had. One of those bottles that makes you sit up a little straighter and recalibrate the whole appellation. — 3 months ago

Mature but nicely balanced relatively light would go well with a veal scalloping. — 2 years ago

2021 vintage. The white/black pepper thingy (pesticides) in the nose. Light-medium body. Super-chiseled with dark fruit, aforementioned pepper presence, graphite and hints of blackberry. Lean and mean. 11.20.24. — 2 years ago

9.3

2020 vintage. Popped and poured. Medium-heavy body. Rich, velveteen, smooth nose and proceedings with nary a speed bump. Some necessary dark cherry flavors initially to lend acidity since the back-end tannins are out to lunch. Correspondingly, no tannins and drinking pretty well currently. Can it get better? I could see it hitting a 9.5 in the next decade but that would be the ceiling. Prob settles in best at a 9.4. *edit* tasted 8 hours later after simply placing the cork back in the bottle and rating it a 9.4. Showing more depth/subtleties. Decant this bad bad boy or open well in advance. 10.8.25. — 9 months ago
