Always a multi-day opera with this one:
Day 1: Luden’s cough drops, dill, coriander and pickling spices. Whiff of boiled weeds. And this is a fruit day. And the wine is clean as a whistle, tender and tempting. If you’re an Enderle fan, none of this sounds even remotely odd.
Day 2: Rancid strip mall Peking Duck, MSG straight out of the box, and cabbage boiled in a cheap aluminum pot. Wretched.
Day 3: The most tender, pure and clear cherry aromas and flavors, reminiscent of Tollot-Beaut or Cornu Chorey-les-Beaune of the 1980s. A long, palpable finish of immense, chalky minerals and vibrant acids. Extraordinary. — 7 years ago
Great value at 20 dollars for this region. Nice buy — 8 years ago
Great light-medium bodied Burgundy. Red fruits and light florals. Velvety smooth. (At Le Verre Volé, hidden Paris gem) — 10 years ago
Ripe ripe cherry with a light rust, liquorice quality. Acid driven yet structured, full finish and grip. — 3 years ago
Really balanced and smooth — 6 years ago
Blackberry, boysenberry. Taut, crunchy and firm enough for balance. Tannic note on the finish. Pure class and a good value. — 7 years ago
This 2011 is a pleasant surprise... with bottle age, some roasted white mushrooms, a metallic or flinty note (tiny bit of Brett?), some whiffs of a rustic cellar... all very slight, and mostly complementary to the tart cherry, raspberry, and almond flavors. Terrific for 2011. With a little air, even tastier. SommSelect Spring 2018. — 8 years ago

Ted Cruz won't drink it. Donald Trump doesn't drink. More for me! — 10 years ago
Nice Burgundy wine, rather light. A nose of tangy red fruits typical of Pinot Noir (raspberry, redcurrant). Wonderfully conducted vinification, bringing slightly woody aging notes. The body is full, harmoniously blending primary and tertiary notes. The finish is developed, nothing more.
Joli vin bourguignon, plutôt léger. Nez de fruits rouges acidulés typique du pinot noir (framboise, groseille). Vinification admirablement conduite, apportant les notes d’élevage légèrement boisées. Le corps est étoffé, mêlant harmonieusement les notes primaires et tertiaires. La finale est développée, sans plus. — 6 years ago
Broad, sappy and almost Nebbiolo-like on entry. On the palate, it becomes pure class...the way that Savigny in the hands of masters (Bize, Rollin, Cornu) always does. Taut, mannerly and entirely 2010ish. Years to go, but just fine right now. — 7 years ago
NYE burgundy taste off cont’d. Fuller body vs Savigny-les-Beaune, a bit darker fruit #moorebrothers $38 — 8 years ago
Absolutely stunning bouquet, burnt sugar and dried petals. Balanced and delicious. — 9 years ago
