  Dinner at Pizzeria Bebu (Chicago, IL): Absolutely killer showing -- this could mop the floor with many, many wines at 2-3x the price. The nose is stunning -- the clean and bright red fruit, with hints of tartness and a dusty earthiness as well. The vintage's acidity shows on the palate -- to be sure, this isn't a fleshy wine, but there's a sinewy elegance to the taut acids. Still plenty of red fruit too, though it's probably a touch on the tart side. For my palate, fully mature, as I worry that further age may cause more of the fruit character to attenuate, while the acids never truly subside.

  Really enjoyed this. Fully resolved, with perhaps a touch of acidity poking out and keeping it from being perfectly balanced. Nonetheless, an excellent bottle at peak. Drink up!

  PnP. Dark red in the glass. Lovely nose of Savigny dark red cherry with semi mature notes of forest floor. More mature than I had expected and drinking perfectly at this point. Very enjoyable ***1/2+

  Aerated an hour. Somewhat pale ruby red colour. A bit closed in the beginning. Opened up in the glass. Impressive aromas with lots of mature dark fruits, blackcurrant, warm spices and forest floor. On the palate it followed on with mixed dark berries, dried tomatoes, herbs and mushrooms. Nice concentration and complexity. Perfect acidity and integrated tannins. A very delicate and elegant wine. Paired with duck.

  Showed a little age. Good and elegant, well balanced wine. In a tasting against a younger Oregan pinot it did not do so well and was overpowered a little.
