Mike Saviage

I brought this. From a bottle with a 6 cm ullage. I was worried about giving this too much air before the tasting so I double decanted it and stopped it – so the air it got was at the event. This was a good strategy as it started out pretty nicely, but then powered up and had some peacock moments during the afternoon. My score grew during the day. Notes of raspberry and rhubarb and Asian spice that is typical of Vosne wines. Nice, sweet profile with complexity and pizazz that grew with air. Nice showing for a not so great bottle condition and a not so great vintage.
