The ruby-colored 1999 Auxey-Duresses displays sweet strawberry and black cherry aromas. Light to medium-bodied and well-detailed, this satin-textured wine offers layers of sweet candied strawberry and cherry fruit. In its firm and tannin-filled (yet ripe) finish, touches of new oak can be discerned. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
