Tasting notes
The 2002 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Narbantons boasts a nose of candied red fruits and roasting spices. Medium to full-bodied, fresh, and exhibiting great ripeness, its flavor profile is composed of raspberries as well as red and black cherries. It is detailed, structured, and concentrated. Projected maturity: 2005-2011. Note: This estate’s 2002s are not yet released. The above estimate is based on the prices of the 2001s, taking into account that the dollar has significantly dropped.

Good dark red. Perfumed, floral aromas of red cherry, licorice and minerals. Very lively but tightly wound and a bit youthfully dry. Offers good cut but comes across as rather sullen today. Doesn't currently deliver in the mouth what the enticing nose promises. Finishes with dusty tannins and a faint astringency.
