Tasting Notes
Vinous 90
Good deep red. Ripe aromas of black raspberry, smoky oak and earth. Sweet, dense and vinous, with currant and licorice flavors and a solid mineral underpinning. Chewy and rich. Lalou Bize says this began with 13% natural alcohol and was chaptalized less than a degree.
Wine Advocate 90
Sweet black berries can be discerned in the aromatics of the 2001 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Narbantons. Medium-bodied, lush, and forward, it has an appealingly intense, blackberry-filled character that lingers, revealing a long, supple finish. This satin-textured wine should be drunk over the next 5-6 years.
Anticipated maturity: 2003-2009
