6/21/13, 3:44 PM - I probably have the only other bottle still out there. I'm holding it as it was my youngest daughters birth year.
6/24/13, 7:18 PM - You have the right, it is more for the special sentiment than the wine in the bottle at this point. Although I must say in it's prime this was a very nice wine.
5/30/12, 4:13 AM - Sounds like you had a flawed bottle, which was not too uncommon with this wine and vintage.
2/21/12, 4:32 PM - Alex, I read your note and can't understand your rating given your thoughts on the wine or it's well deserved reputation.
9/24/11, 3:51 PM - Great Review Chris. I really enjoyed it. Your experience with the 07 and 02 is most likely due to the vintage difference. 2002 was a hot summer and the grapes had high sugar and an early harvest with buckets of fruit and tannins. They were brutes for the first 5 years and then started to mellow. The year ranked a 10 at harvest but has moderated and is considered more of a 9 now.2007 was an average (slightly above) year - most give it an 8. They wines are solid but not great. They were ready to drink early and will fade fairly fast. Still very worth drinking just not 2002, 2005, 2009 year!
9/9/11, 5:35 PM - CBOYLE_3, You are using a strange rating system. Your ratings are in the 50's, 70's and then a bunch of 100's. Most people would have a hard time with these scores. A well constructed wine (even one that is not your favorite would usually score at least 80 points. On the flip side it is very rare to ever find a wine that scores 100 points. Your scores are so far off that no one will put faith in them. You should look at other peoples scores after you rate a wine. If you are off by more than 5 points from an average of 5 of more ratings then you probably need to think about your scoring. Keep it up it takes practice.
5/29/11, 12:17 AM - Wow, I didn't know I had to pay $600 to have a very good wine. Maybe my scale is all off, after all I've given many 90+ scores to bottles under $50.
4/14/11, 4:04 AM - What was lacking? A little explanation for such a radically different rating should have some rationale?
4/5/11, 11:52 PM - Doug, there are a lot of Savigny wines reviewed in the last couple of days. Was there a group visit to the village? Thanks for the good reviews.
3/27/11, 10:56 AM - Was this wine stored properly? Mine is still drinking beautifully!
3/10/11, 7:34 AM - Wow what a great review to get to read - it was as enjoyable as my tasting of the Lapierre itself! Thanks
2/19/11, 6:49 AM - Wow nice note. Where did you get lingonberry jam? Time in Scandinavia?
2/19/11, 6:44 AM - Wow and with a lack of finesse you gave it 91 points? Sounds like it should be in the mid to high 80's at the most.
2/19/11, 6:41 AM - $32 for an 82 point bottle of wine is NICE??? I would say that's NOT SO NICE.
2/15/11, 5:01 AM - Beebe, I also think it shows what good Gamay can be like! Gary
9/26/10, 4:36 PM - Nice TN! Thanks.
9/24/10, 4:49 PM - 10 more years? Ok I have one bottle left. I'll let you know! ;-)
8/31/10, 11:41 PM - Keith, thanks fit the TN. We were also hoping for a repeat of the 2005. We'll hope it is evolving differently. But don't forget that the 2005 was a little inconsistent from bottle to bottle. Not good but still hopeful.Gary
8/30/10, 11:47 PM - Hi Troon, I like this wine too. I just want to let you know that this is a gamay grape as that is the grape for the Beaujulais region of burgundy.
8/30/10, 11:43 PM - Thanks Rieslingfan, Were did you get the low sulfer fact? Thx
8/9/10, 5:32 AM - Interesting note on this wine. Almost identical to my TN of May 19th.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
