  June 27, 2013 - Digging into some Savigny-Les-Beaunes (Browntrout, Chicago IL): Nose: Has a perfumed, but rustic quality to it with tones of dark red fruits, dark spices, leather, earth tones, and a touch of violets. There is very good depth to this with very good balance.
  
  Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium+ acidity and silky tannins. The tones of dark red fruits, dark spices, violets, earth tones, and some incense all have a seamless quality to them.
  
  Overall: While this was the oldest wine at the tasting, it is also just starting to go. It definitely benefited from air as it grew in the glass and bottle as the night went on.

  January 10, 2013 - Off the list at Aska. After a corked bottle, the 2nd one was very tight, not offering a lot of fruit or complexity. I kept a little bit in my glass for some time and the very last sips showed nice tea with something slightly green. Rustic and maybe a little thin.
  Overall, not quite sure of what to think of that bottle.

  March 3, 2010 - Savigny-lès-Beaune: Unimpressive at best, flirted with being a downright bad wine. I don't think it was flawed, but it showed weirdly cloying fruit and lots of awkward alcohol. A library release that should have stayed in the library.
