the 2004 is virile

The color is a healthy dark saturated ruby

although the 2010 vintage of this wine was shortly to be released when I visited the estate (but I did not get a chance to taste it)

but the plummy fruit and spicy wood appear to be nicely integrated

Jean-Marc Pavelot, Savigny Beaune Guettes Rouge other_regions_italy the 2004 is virile(the vineyard is quite stony with very little top soil). Here the nose is similar but more reserved and offers just a bit more overt minerality that also characterizes the firm, precise and pure flavors that possess so much extract that it confers a textured character to the vibrant and exceptionally persistent finish. This is a focused effort that exhibits controlled power and a lovely sense of underlying tension. Worth a look as this is quite good.
