Quick decant. Very aromatic and complex, with notes of ripe pear, apple, also some citrus, red berries too, chalky mineral notes, also some quite pronounced autolytic notes, also some smoke. Pretty full-bodied, with pretty high acidity and medium mousse that is present but nicely integrated. Long finish with complexity that is building up. I would maybe keep this for another 2-3 years, but pretty irresistible already now. (95+)

Another excellent bottle of this, so ripe, aromatic,charming and pretty, but also with excellent freshness, which was not easy to achieve in this vintage. I am really digging Savigny-lès-Beaune in warmer vintages, it brings an extra level of fruit and sweetness to the wines without them loosing their tension. Superb QPR (91+)

You mention in one of your tasting notes that you had the pleasure of tasting wines at the Bartolo Mascarello winery.
Do you now if it s open to the public? Or do know if appointments can be made?

9/17/2016 8:45:00 AM - Drinking as well as ever, nice. As always, thanks for the great notes. Hope to see you on this next trip, I will be there three months, let's see if we can make it happen. If not, I will be there 3 months in the fall.

Going to Switzerland Q2, 2014 for kendo and other pleasures. Meaning of course that we would love to enjoy some btls with you and your friends.
Looking forward to your answer as I'm certain it will be loads of fun and pleasure.

Another very good bottle of this. Old-schoolish Napa with good freshness.
