Community Tasting Note

  October 23, 2012 - Deep, bright, clear and attractive fuchsia/red hue; the nose is a touch warm, with coulis of red raspberry and hints of pie cherry and cassis foxiness; palate entry is a touch warm but the fruit is delightfully ripe and straightforward. Finish is soft and easy, with nicely balanced fine grained tannins and enough acidity to keep the very ripe fruit fresh and alive. There is a bit of a medicinal note on the finish as well - actually a pleasant earthiness that binds this to its Savigny roots. I would not hold this wine a long, long time but instead enjoy it over the next few years for its exuberant, ample and youthful fruit. There is another note here that calls this wine thin, green, "mouth-puckeringly tart" and essentially unappetizing... I'd counsel ignoring it. This is everything a good, young warm vintage Savigny should be and, particularly at its sub $25 price point, it's extremely attractive wine. No, it's extremely attractive wine regardless of price point.
