I was too dismissive in my previous review. This is quite serious savoury Burgundy. The fruit doesn’t sing but it’s for enjoying for those sick of strawberry juice cheap Pinots or Christmas pudding expensive new world ones.
Much more solid than you’d expect for Savigny Les Beaune or the vintage.

A 45 min decant was the right move as initial tannins were dominant. This opened up nicely to reveal a fairly soft texture and nice red fruit aromatics and some hints of forest floor. Over a 2 hr period the wine continued to improve. While the aromatic profile remained consistent the texture became softer and smoother. A very sold bottle of SLB without any signs of the mean green. Based on the drinking experience i expect some more upside in the next few years so no rush here.

Beau nez sur la fraise et la cerise. En bouche, délicat et fruité. 91 sur 100.

Slightly disappointing, drank alongside a Tornatore Etna Rosso, which was more „burgundy-like“ in style.
