Auxey-Duresses Pinot Noir

🇫🇷

Really damned good for a $25 village wine

This is a really good CdB villages. Fruit, dirt, and funk in proper measure, and with plenty of concentration as well as acidity. Even better than the bottles I had a couple of years ago

Domaine des Etangs

At Pluck. Excellent fruit for a lighter Burgundy

Start of first anniversary dinner

This is good. 2012s are good and this supports the strong vintage.

Muted nose. A bit shut down, may open up with time...but I am impatient. Mouthfeel bigger than the nose. Dark fruit, sarsaparilla, red licorice, and a drying earthy finish. Interested if it opens up more.

Lacking in depth but good QPR.
