  Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Summer tasting (Asperg): Tasted blind. Clear, medium deep ruby color. Very round nose with lots of warm, ripe fruit, dense, some animal/barn notes. On the palate round and with a velvet texture. A bit hot, medium+ acidity, lots of ripe fruit, deep and with a good length. 88-89

  Last bottle. Should have waited this long with the other ones. This drank very good. No decant. Drank over two hours. The last glass lost its charm and became slightly bitter. Drink up !

  This was disappointing. Rather savory with meat and forest notes. Fruit was subdued and unexpressive. Fine tannins still prominent. Probably best to hold and hope for improvement.

  Been in the glass for an hour. I pretty much agree with Keithakers in that I see his Côte-Rotie notes. Nose is meaty, wet iron, smoky, bell pepper, apple, raspberry, pinesap, almond paste, leather, violets, roses, cherries, plum, fig, tobacco. Drinking a bit thin on the fruit side, sour cherries, tannin, oak, leather, aware of the alcohol, saline, dark chocolate. The nose would have taken me to Burgundy but drinking it I would not been able to guess even. Nose is great, drinking, so so. Would not buy again based on this bottle. I would give the nose 90 but drinking lower. Maybe I don't know this wine well enough, I see someone thinking the drinking window takes us into 2040....do not see this wine coming around...

  Nose: The nose is quite meaty and savory with black cherries, raspberries, earth, peppery notes, tobacco, Violets, and cranberry notes. There is almost a Côte-Rotie-esque take to the nose though it clearly retains its Burgundian sensibilities.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity and medium tannins. The tannins are more fine grained and silky with black cherries, raspberries, meaty notes, earth tones, fresh cracked black pepper, and violets.
  
  Overall: It's funny as people will sometimes mention how some Côte-Rotie almost tastes like Burgundy, and yet, this is nearly a reverse take. That is not to take away from what clearly is a stellar example of Savigny-Les-Beaune that also is in need of more age. It speaks to the quality of the Domaine and the land. This is a Burgundy for those that want something original and true whilst eschewing something made for more international palates.
