Thin little waif of a red wine, the nose is strongly strawberry, slight cinnamon: thin body with red fruit, ever so slight pepper, slight but balanced earth and oak. Good, unobtrusive French red which to me means it would go with lots of food; for this bootle, beef bourgignone of course. I have had Beaujolais with more body.

Savigny Les Beaunes: Beautiful rich nose. Lots of cherries, but with some depth and earthiness. In the mouth, light and acidic with raspberry flavors. The nose on this was a real tease, with the palate being a bit of a let down.

Wanted to check in and see how 05 villages were showing. This was quite thin with sour cherry flavors. Meh. I hope it's just in an awkward phase. Unimpressive right now.

Nice dark berry, earth mulch funk, bright tangy/tart acidity, cinnamon stick/sandalwood spice, potpourri florals. Young mouth feel, yet smooth, with a nice uplifting kick and enough complexities to contemplate. Shows some deep smoked meat iron, leather, cherry cola. Very tasty young Burg.....right for the price!

(from memory) Opened this one way too early, dark red, not a big bouquet but lots going on on the palate, from dark berries to iron to salty earth notes, has plenty of stuffing to improve with age - 89?
Update: 7 years later and unfortunately the second bottle was corked - but underneath the wet cardboard was dark, mineral driven fruit with lots of life ahead

Cranberry and strawberry, tart, no oxidation or signs of age but this is just not that charming. Others liked. B-/C+

Signs of seepage, heat spike...but the wine seemed ok. Fell apart day two.

A nice wine overall with strawberry, minerals, floral and less tannins than last time sampling it 2 years ago. Medium finish and drink now.

May be a little early but great acidity, nose, and body with black berry fruit and earthiness; could be outstanding.
