Really youthful showing, plenty of red fruit left, overtly full stem on the nose, silky and long finish, wow! On second day, the stemminess resolves and shows a more meaty side

Lots of bricking and lightness - definitely showing its age. Nose of clove and spice, but not especially strong. It hasn't gone bad in any way, but it seems just a little faded and tired. The fruit is pretty much gone, but the secondary flavors that should be replacing it are not really there. Nice texture and mouthfeel. Maybe five years ago it would have been in better shape?

(Bize Simon Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Vergelesses) Medium colour with some amber at the rim. Oaky, chocolaty, completely secondary nose - very nice. The palate is lovely, still wrapped in tannin with good acidity and sweet fruit. No hard edges, this was lovely.

Lovely wine. Silky, long finish, dry at the end, but not detrementally so.

Roasted and slightly overripe fruit, somewhat chunky in the mouth. Needed food and drank well with goose.

Slow ox with no decant. Complex nose with a spicy note. Very smooth on the palate, with cherry, meaty, umami notes. Long finish.
