2006 Guyon Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Peuillets

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. The nose is rather understated, I would even say tight, just faint red fruit with floral hints. Ripe, smooth fruit grows in intensity across your tongue and into the mid-palate. Almost good this.

2006 Guyon Nuits St.Georges Les Herbues

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. Also rather tight yet floral – perhaps a hint of caramel. Good texture and concentration. Only slowly the tannin reveals itself. Good dimension and length. Nice Nuits.

2006 Guyon Vosne-Romanée Charmes de Maizières

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. Still rather understated aromatics, but this smells lovely (I didn’t write why!). Ripe and mouth-filling with a sneaky extra dimension in the middle and very interesting length. Pricy, but super.

2006 Guyon Aloxe-Corton Les Guerets

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. The most floral of these. In the mouth this is a more obviously structured but balanced wine of quite a red-fruit complexion. Good length. Frankly too expensive for Aloxe despite its quality.

2006 Guyon Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. High tones that are backed by faint caramel and a faintly spicy undertow. Certainly more concentration and dimension – lots of wine here – much complexity and very good length. This is super, only the price spoils the party.

2006 Guyon Vosne-Romanée En Orveaux

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. More open and spicy than the Brùlées with more caramel over slightly blurred red fruits. More punch and mid-palate concentration. Super balance and length – what’s not to love

2006 Guyon Echézeaux

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-pale colour. A lovely, wide nose of spice, caramel and fruit. The texture is not particularly sophisticated, but the concentration and dimension are super. Clearly overpriced, but super wine

2006 Guyon Gevrey-Chambertin Les Platières

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. Earthy and sweet with caramel and mineral aspects. Concentrated with plenty of structure, though not the mid-palate dimension and complexity of finish of the 2006 Echézeaux. Super villages though.

2006 Guyon Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Bright, medium colour. The nose offers up, wide, high-toned glossy red fruit. Understated concentration yet it seems to grow in the mouth. The fruit is perhaps a hint estery, but it will be impressive to drink young.
