Faint nose. Sour cherries, strawberry on the nose. High acidity, low tannins. Sour cherries on thr palate. Not very much going on here. Balance is lacking here is well. Much better wines out there for this price point and region, wouldn’t recommend.

Slight earth and mushrooms, deep red cherries. Really nice silky tannins. Slight vanilla on the finish. Overall an excellent wine, showing near its prime if you still like some fruits in your wine. Can laydown for a few years more if you want more tertiary flavor evolution, but would suggest opening these if you still like some fruit presence.

Overall ok. Bright red fruits, high acidity, light oak. Cherries is most prominent. Medium bodied. Not a bad wine, but not a great wine. Many better options for Savingy-Les-Beaune.

Deep purple colour. On the nose, black cherries, light smoke, light earth. On the palate, medium-high acidity and high tannins. Black cherry and blackberry. Very slight vanilla. Medium length on the finish. Overall a very good wine for the price point. Needs some air to fully enjoy or a couple years in cellar.

Bright red fruits. Cherry most predominant. Heavy alcohol presence, hard to cut through with even 2hrs of decanting. Silky but heavy tannins, high acidity. Overall a beautiful wine that needs at least 3-5 years to calm down.

Past its prime. Slight metallic, faint roasted nuts. Very vague fruits, but almost completely dead. No tannins or acidity present. Overall an interesting experience, but if you are holding onto any more, it’s time to open them as there is no more potential here.

Overall a very nice wine for its value. Cherries, blck currants, slight peppery note. Tannins are not too strong, would wait 6-12 months for the next bottle. Should be perfect by then.
