1999 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Les Ecusseaux, Robert Ampeau et Fils

"Gorgeously dark fruit on the nose, powerful and showing some forest floor notes. Full bodied on the palate, yet brilliantly juicy still, as expected for a wine of this age it is wonderfully harmonious, every aspect perfectly melded, allowing layer after layer of flavour to come through. Fresh and juicy on the finish, with hints of spice and a savoury edge. 

A great example of one of the finest red vintages in the past 30 years, from this little-known and superb value appellation, there is still a subtle structure there which will see this through another 5 to 7 years, but no need to wait before popping the cork –this one is perfect, right now."
