2002 Louis Jadot Beaune Les Avaux 1er Cru
Rating: 89
Herb-laced red cherries and violets make up the aromatic profile of the 2002 Beaune Avaux. Medium-bodied, densely-packed with dark fruits, this is a firmly structured effort. Its admirable concentration, freshness, as well as intense black cherry and blackberry flavors predict a beautiful future.Author: Pierre RovaniRating: 89
Darker and richer than the Dominode but not more complex with very firmly structured medium full flavors that are ripe and round, possessing no hard edges and a lovely intensity on the long finish.Issue: 2nd Quarter, 2004
