Mid ruby to mid garnet. A relaxed combination of mellow red fruit and sous bois development. A decade on from my previous bottle and it has settled and mellowed nicely and is now fully ready. Time to drink. ***1/2

A very pretty nose. Forest berry and cherry fruit, some stems notes and florals. It's mid weighted, with lovely balance, carrying the weight of the vintage with grace. A lovely mix of berry and cherry fruit, perfume, and savory- stemmy notes on the palate. It's supple and midweghted with a textural softness I love. This is a wine of harmony and interesting contrasts. Elegance with subtle power and depth. A broad palate presence coupled with a light touch and softness …

Some nice floral notes on the nose, good acid and tannins, but really short drying finish. Not terribly pleasant.

Pretty good actually. Generous, savoury and quite deep fruited Burgundy. Some sappy and earthy flavours, not overly complex but very satisfying and well made. Has enough of everything to cellar for a while yet. It was, however, much better on day 1, was starting to oxidise and lose its freshness on day 2.

Really great. Definitely imprecise and fat - very 2009. But so friendly and delicious right now. Beautiful cherry and Citrus. Exotic spices and smoke. Long finish. With blistered shisito peppers the wine felt spicy and explosive. A memorable food/wine combo.

Lovely, and very Savigny. A core of cherry fruit surrounded by bright acidity and earth. Stemmy on the nose. Very well balanced, seems like it has a long life ahead of it. A real bargain.

Strawberry, orange peel, earth aromas, all of which have to be somewhat laboriously coaxed out of the glass. A superbly balanced palate with great minerality and soft tannins make this effortless to drink. A little shy and minimalist to really get me excited at this price point but a lovely delicate wine all the same. 89

Bright red fruit, quite light and zingy. Relatively high acidity. Some interest, but it's a little nervy. ***

A pleasant if lightweight wine, with notes of cherry, red currant and earth. Similarly light on the palate, with some fleeting nuances but ultimately somewhat hollow and short. There's a sense that this might pick up some complexity with age, but whether the fruit will survive that long is open to question.

Great for the price. Complex and well structured Burg. Solid fruit. Hints of spice. Beautiful color. Wish I had bought more.

2009 Savigny-les-Beaunes (Vin Vino Wine, Palo Alto, CA) : Gorgeous nose, bright red fruit and floral notes. Medium+ bodied, the weightiest in the lineup. Black raspberry fruit with a great, velvety texture. Some fruit skin tannin but not as much as I remember from a year ago. Try one now and put the rest away to sleep awhile.

Affordable Red Burgundy (The Wine Country, Signal Hill, CA) : $36.99. Nice nose showing some ripe but pretty fruit. Really tight and tannic at the moment but there's lots of ripe fruit underneath. Great structure - needs a couple of years at least but this is going to be a beauty.

Nose is completely closed. Wonderful on the palate though, mixed berries, earth, spice, really nice balanced mouthfeel and some grainy tannins give it a rustic feel. Good now, would hope it improves with age.

2009 Cote de Beaunes (Vin Vino Wine, Palo Alto, CA) : Pretty nose of red cherries, baking spice and a bit of earth. Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. Tart cherry, warm baking spice, moderate tannins. A tad rustic at this stage but really nice, with great acidity.

Brambly red fruit, cranberry, and touch of violets and earth on the nose. Lean with bright acid, light-medium bodied with pomegranite, tart red fruit, thyme and a little ruby red grapefruit on the palate. This is young and needs some time to fill out -- at least 5 years.

A tale of two walks: Ladoix and Savigny (Côte de Beaune, France) : A light smooth wine with honey, epoisses, toast, and red licorice.
