this appears to have excellent underlying material and thus my score offers the benefit of the doubt

picking up a smoky nuance and a touch of candied rose

crushed herbs and notes of red and black cherries

This is a vintage where the Cabernet Sauvignon did exceptionally well (55% with 45% Merlot)

where the wines remain for a few months

Jean-Marc Pavelot, Savigny Beaune Guettes Rouge other_regions this appears to have excellent(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.
