Absolutely stunning red burgundy kindly provided by Patrick Walsh at a dinner at Brooks in Melbourne. Glowing crimson. Firm bitter cherry fruit. This has wonderful intensity as well as the aromatic flirtatiousness of burgundy. To coin a phrase, a total charmpot. Gorgeous balance and already a delight to drink. Quite powerful. (JR)

Score 93/100 · Drink 2004-2015, Pierre Rovani, Aug 2001

Produced from 14 hectoliters per hectare, the 1999 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Narbantons is an outstanding wine. It displays intricate aromas of roasted blackberries, super-ripe plums, and candied cherries. It has awesome depth and a profound, concentrated, muscular personality. Copious quantities of blackberries, metals, stones, and cassis liqueur-like flavors can be found in this magnificent wine's personality and lush finish. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800.

Good full ruby-red. Slightly reduced but compellingly sweet aromas of black raspberry and leather. Sweet-verging-on-confectionery, with a liqueur-like thickness and terrific concentration. A strong mineral underpinning contributes to the impression of backbone and helps to buffer the wine high alcohol. Very impressive potential.
