With grilled ribeye (late decision, from freezer, so did sous vide straight from frozen, worked well), grilled squash, broccoli rabe, and salad, the 2007 Simon Bize €œaux Vergelesses€�- Savigny-les-Beaune 1er. Theres still some structure here, but with air drinking really quite well. Snappy acids, perceptible but integrated tannin, fairly plush fruit. Reddish (cherry, raspberry) fruit, some earth tones, hint of cocoa. Smoky note as it evolves. In a nice place, but no hurry, but think my last of these- sad. B++


Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C
drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
