Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aux Vergelesses, 1er Cru, Bize (Simon)

Note:

There is a definite restraint to the dark currant suffused nose that displays hints of plum, floral and earth. There is excellent power and punch to the robust and tautly muscular medium-bodied flavors that possess fine precision on the firm, mineral-driven and admirably well-concentrated finish. I like both the overall sense of balance as well as the excellent length though note well that this serious effort is also going to require patience.
