Savigny at RSJ (RSJ Restaurant, London): Lovely fruit combined with a slightly savoury, marmite nose. Proper wine, starting tn develop a silkiness. Lovely but still a little young. ***1/2

Good fruit on the nose, still quite velvety to silky in the mouth, bright, fresh acidity with red fruits to the fore. Secondary development. Became slightly more spicy with air. Balnced, classic. Less good with the grouse than the 88 NSG Porrets drunk alongside it. ***1/3

just the smallest hint of rust at the rims of this dark purple but translucent and pretty wine. nose changed a lot over 2 hours, showing orange peel, seaweed, brown sugar, potting soil, cinnamon and cloves, and cooked cherries. smooth as silk, tannins all gone, luscious sweet stewed red cherries on the palate. some cooked fig too. great acidity, well balanced with a spicy finish. elegant, complex, beautiful wine.

This bottle seemed a little off kilter, tho the cork was fine. Different style than everything else. Licorice. Just didn't do it for me.

Mid garnet. Nice mix of gamey sous-bois, gentle spice and dark red fruits; silky texture. A point. Good acidity, classic mature burgundy. ***1/2
