2004 Thibault Liger-Belair Nuits St. Georges Les Saint Georges
This starts off a bit forward and soft for my tastes. With air it pulls it together and shows fine-grained finesse and earthy bass inner inner inner tannins to balance off the supple and rippling fruit. Maybe a touch too glossy for me to fall in love but I liked the time I spent with this wine.
2004 Roumier Chambolle Musigny
At its best it shows a beautiful floral nose and then tastes like crystal crunchy silk fruits. Sure it is 'simple' village wine. But for this taster there was nothing to complain about and in fact plenty to enjoy. I just wish it were cheaper for what it delivers. But then maybe I'm a cheapskate.
2002 Domaine Pavelot Savigny Les Beaune Les Narbantons
Showing its ripe, dark, and round side, which might please some, but I couldn't help wishing it were a bit more precise and Chandon de Briailles-like. There is some nice complexity to the tannin finish and a good mineral backbone to give it respect. Regardless, the idiom is dark and spicey and I'm realizing my Savigny and Pernand money should be scratching the Chandon itch. But I digress...
