Tasted: Jan 01, 2003

Issue: 9
Outstanding
Tasting note: Bigger and certainly earthier than the Fremières and fine as it is, this simply cannot match the elegance, precision and knock out depth of the former wine. That said, the Narbantons is a very fine wine in its own right with smoked meat and ripe though not roasted earth aromas and rich, intense, sappy and almost robust flavors and exceptionally good length. Terrific quality.
