For a Savigny, this is surprisingly firm and tannic, the wine’s structure an impressive edifice of dry tannins and firm cranberry and plum skin flavors. It is certainly ripe, the fruit promising attractive richness in 3–5 years, followed by good aging potential.

This ripe wine rolls around the mouth, showing fresh acidity, but also black plums and bitter chocolate which gives spice. It’s an attractive wine with a soft personality, full of comfortable velvet folds.

A curiously earthy aroma announces a wine that is light, somewhat barnyard, the fruit behind the tannin. It has a juicy element leading to final cranberry acidity.
