What a lovely wine. Black cherry, coffee, campfire, with a citrus zest note on finish. Fresh, elegant, complex. Long earthy/stony finish. A- ($26 at release)

5/6, good cork. Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose shows pretty red fruit, touch of soil, spice and a lightly sweet creamy edge. Odd whiff of smoke. Medium bodied, attractive lightly creamy old vine red fruit - raspberry, strawberry - vibrant acidity, very good length finish. Grippy yet fine tannins. Lovely, drinking well, no hurry.

Medium ruby/garnet core, pale garnet rim with a touch of mahogany. On the nose this shows red cherry fruit, notes of soil and game, slight whiff of celery. Medium bodied on the palate, sappy, slightly creamy old vine red fruit, cherry and a touch of strawberry, slightly firm tannins but they are fine and well covered by the fruit, good length, grippy, gamey finish. Very moreish, lovely. Next bottle 2-3 years.

Well-balanced Savigny, with high-toned fruit, mineral and earth. Very in balance and pretty mellow. Nothing fancy, but well-made nonetheless.

Developing nicely, just needs another couple of years to come into a fine drinking window. Doesn't feel like it will be an unusually long-lived wine.
