Cameron Hughes Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Clous Lot 294

Not much color on the pour, but a nice purple-brick in decanter and glass. Immediately from bottle was a bit muted yet too sweet. After some time in the decanter, was an enjoyable wine. Berries but "cloyiness" had gone. Fine table wine.

This bottle started out barely recognizable as Pinot Noir - thin, green and acidic - and we opened a different bottle. After about 45 minutes in the decanter the fruit came out but it still underwhelming. Not a fav but perhaps it might improve with additional bottle time.

Decanted 2 hrs, cork was barely colored, transparent crimson color, big cherry nose, full mouthfeel, long tart finish, light tannins, based on the color/nose I expected a lighter wine with some fruit, but got a big pucker-up wine, not our style, scored 83. Day 2: nose and mouthfeel subdued some, still has long finish but more acidic than tart, we liked much better today, increased score to 86. I think this wine needs a couple years and/or plenty of air …
