The medium to dark ruby-colored 2003 Beaune Avaux (red), harvested on Tuesday the 2nd of September (after the rains had their beneficial effect), bursts from the glass with dark cherry, mint, and tar aromas. Satin-textured and suave, it is medium-bodied, fleshy, and expressive. A hint of rusticity can be detected in its long finish. Projected maturity: 2008-2015.
