Not Bad for a Burgundy

2004 Burgundy
Savigny-Serpentieres
Premier Cru, Domaine Pierre Guillemot
Jen’s Notes

What a lovely Burgundy! We decanted about 20-30 minutes, and gorgeous floral/herbal aromas positively blossomed. The palate entry is similarly herbal, and there was something else in there that I couldn't identify for the longest time. I sat there for a minute and waited for the word to occur to me. It was sandalwood. That's what I love about Burgundy. You have to think about it. There was a hint of rosewater, too, followed by concentrated, tangy fruit, and a lingering finish. The acidity was buoyant and really seemed to add so much to the focus of this wine. Can you tell I loved it?
