Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 1, 2020 - In true Bize style, this was a solid, stylish and understatedly delicious Savigny. It could still use a few more years in the cellar yet, but it was clearly starting to creep into its drinking window. I liked the nose, with its drifts off sweet strawberries and cherries, lined with a lovely earthy, stony minerality, and then just the tiniest hint of violets, bramble and spice around the edges. Pretty, but with an inflection of earthy masculinity to it. There was a touch of primary sweetness and a bit of oak intruding one the nose, but these were clearing fading into the background. It was certainly not an issue on the palate, which was bright and energetic, with a good flush of fresh orangey acidity and some round tannins on the attack framing a lovely, soft mouthful of cherries and red berries. These then trailed away into a surprisingly plush finish infused with a nice, warm spiciness and a little streak of mineral. Enjoyable and food friendly, this was immensely drinkable wine, yet with a nice amount of depth and breadth to it. It went a treat with an excellent dapao Beouf Bourguignon from Iggy’s too. I was really pleased with this, and am looking forward to see how the other bottles will age over the next 3-4 years. I am not sure I will be able to resist them until then though.
