Popped and poured. Color is light to medium garnet. Red-fruited, lightly floral, savory sage with a deep whiff. MUCH more open after an hour of air.
Light to medium in body with juicy red fruit, raspberry, could use some more concentration; profilebecomes more creamy into the finish. Nicely balanced, nothing standing out more than anything else. Excellent.

Now the other old-vine Savigny from CB. Planted 1929. A little more luscious and a little less cerebral than the Grands Liards this year. Once you shake off the CO2 the main theme here is the beautiful, pure pinot fruit, a stream of blue-tinged berries with that old-vine feel of being succulent and densely packed but also slender in form. It's suavely textured with a gloss that smooths out all but a wisp of its tannin. But an easy, crowd-pleasing drink right now regardless of whatever it's got in reserve.
