(Syvlie Esmonin Bourgogne Rouge (Pressoniers)) This is from the same vineyard that the Roty Bourgogne Rouge comes from. On day 1 it had a huge waft of vanila oak on the nose and also on the finish but there was good intense sweet ripe fruit and lots of nice acids. The oak though dominated and after around two hours open the wine started to shut down. On day 2 it was significantly better but still had a dark/oaky aspect to it that I did not like. There was not much mineral and earth but loads of dark, sappy sweet confectionary fruit. Very well made but not my style.

I don't know if I caught this bottle in a bad place, but it really wasn't working for me: lacked discernible fruit; was simultaneously nervy and flabby; clipped, weird finish. Only have the one bottle, so I'll never know if it was bottle variation.

Excellent, but needs more time. Wait at least a year before opening another. Serge's right on about this wine.

Quite oaky nose, very nutty with coffee notes. Dark fruits. Very differente palate with brighter, more red fruits and dark plum. A lot of cherry and still oaky. Blood orange notes with a lemon like acidity.
Reminded me more of a Barolo than Bourgogne. I usually like S Esmonin wines and this is the 1st one that I did not enjoy.

Fresh, unique, drinking well now after a short decant. Cherries sprinkled with that candied anise that you find in indian restaurants.

this is about as good as a Bourgogne can get, I would say. Lots of extraction, a very dark purple color. Lovely nose of dried rosemary, dried flowers, sandalwood, and mineral and herb flecked earth. layers of cool dark fruits on the palate and a definite mineral streak. this is broad and heady stuff for a humble regional wine. just delicious, especially with the kind of spicy baby bok choy we had with our pork chops.
