  March 3, 2024 - Burgs, Birds, and Black Truffles (My place, Portland OR): This was a little dried out at first. After about two hours open, it did flesh out and darken somewhat in the glass. The nose is balanced, perfumed, and savory with raspberries, sour red cherries, cranberries, leather, dried sour red fruits, earth notes, tobacco leaf, and some violets. The Medium bodied feel is balanced with tart, medium+ acidity and slightly drying, medium tannins. This bottle feels like it is on the downslope, but there is still a lot there to give joy. I may have liked this more on its own, but it paled in comparison to the 06 and 08.

  January 15, 2024 - Soft red fruit up front, but the middle was tired with slight tertiary notes and led to a vanishing finish on minimal acidity. Maybe pretty once but this bottle just seemed past its prime, too bad.

  August 16, 2023 - Earthy notes overlaying complex mixed berries. Fresher on the palate with a lot of fruit still - complex and textured. Expansive mouthfeel showing some breath. No sense of any leanness at all / fully ripe with a pleasant gentle sweetness that comes with Pinot. Acid in perfect balance, giving the wine some freshness. Soft and fully integrated tannins now. Good length. Ultimately it is a little straightforward in flavor profile - lacking in some florality and perfume and elegance - but this faithfully reflects its origins on the southern slope of the Savigny combe. And the old vine fruit is truly delicious. Really good I think. Holding up well. Bought on release.

  April 25, 2023 - Seventh bottle from a case that I have not touched for 5 years. Wow the stern tannins and the austerity have gone at last - thank goodness. Niff of old socks on opening vanished quickly. This wine still needs food and is still has a stern streak but now it works to help. Tonight it was a delightful Savigny, an aethereal delight. Nuanced, balanced, long and lovely. An object lesson in keeping these wines for more than 20 years. On this bottle evidence I'd say there is good reason to think there is at least another 5 years here.
