Really very, very nice. Light fruit aromas with scent of herb. Fresh cherry with mineral undertones, lovely balance with no tartness. Medium bodied, very sippable.

(Bouchard Aine Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Peuillets) From 40 year-old vines raised in 30% new oak. The nose is rather ashy. Lots of material here, a wine that slowly expands into the finish. The fruit is pretty good but I find the tannins currently rather ungainly, to a certain extent, spoiling the fruit in the mid-palate. Everything seems ripe, so given 3-5 years for the tannins to soften and it might be quite good.

This was lovely. Decanted about 2 hours, had a fair amount of fruit but still had earth and minerals. A nice balance between old and new world.
