    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Bruno Clair, Savigny Lès Beaune, La Dominode, 1er Cru, 2005

    From a parcel of old vines, soe of which were planted in 1902, this is still going strong. A beguiling nose of flowers, cherry, plum and raspberry, equally fruity on the palate touches of cherry stone, juicy, linear and refined with a good clasping tannic grip providing backbone.

    ABV:
    13%
    86-88/100
    Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
    (hit hard by hail): Medium red. Reticent aromas of black cherry, dark raspberry and licorice. Juicy and tightly wound; less sweet than the foregoing wines from the Côte de Nuits, with the black fruit and menthol flavors showing a touch of leather. There's no obvious hail taste here, but this wine, made from very old vines, does not show its customary ripeness or depth. Brun may fine it in an attempt to round out its tannins.
