The 2013 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru les Dominodes has a slightly disjointed nose at the moment with quite pronounced forest floor notes developing in the glass. This is definitely an earthier Dominodes compared to the 2012 last year. The palate is structured and masculine with chalky tannins, firm grip but just missing a little flesh toward the stern and assertive finish. Hopefully, this will mellow by the time of bottling because it feels a little “surly” and a little ephemeral at this premature stage.
