Tasting notes
Palish straw-gold color. Aromas of candied citrus peel, smoke and clove, with a whiff of grilled oak. Fat and sweet, with deep, complex flavors dominated by candied citrus peel. Lovely acids frame and extend the wine's superb fruit. Uncommonly strong for its appellation.

From 60-year-old vines, the spice and mineral-scented 2002 Auxey-Duresses is a sappy, minty, massive wine crammed with syrupy honey, minerals, and pears. It is extraordinarily long, intense, and powerful. Projected maturity: now-2015. Importers include: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400; and Lauber Imports, Somerville, NJ; tel.
