Comte Armand, Auxey Duresses 1er Cru Vintage:2011 This is a fabulous showing(a blend of two 1ers, the older vines Les Brterins and Bas de Duresses the vines run from 35 to 75 years of age). This possesses a nose that is compositionally similar to that of the straight Auxey but offers both a bit more aromatic depth and complexity. There is good richness to the lightly mineral inflected flavors that possess good detail and fine length on the less obviously rustic finish as the tannins are more fine grained. (88 91) 2019+
