Community Tasting Notes (1) Avg Score: 87.5 points

  • PnP. Some initial barnyard funk on the nose that blew off quickly. A translucent garnet & brick colour. Clearly a mature bottle that's still drinking beautifully. Tart red berries up front, bright acidity, and very present but silky tannins. Not particularly complex, but what's there is performing well. I think this will be even better 24 hours from now. We shall see...

    24 hrs later: Nope. It was at its best within a few hours of opening it. By the next day the fruit was fading and the tannins were taking the lead.

    (Tollot-Beaut Savigny-lès-Beaune Champs Chevrey) Medium-plus cherry red. Nose is high toned, a lovely raspberry- cherry mix - biased to raspberry, below is a subtle and fading vanilla. The palate is wonderfully smooth, with super acidity, red fruit and a really stand-out length. The silky tannins in this case don't share the astringency so common in their Côte de Nuits cousins. Excellent - I've bought some more.
