Tasting note: Mild reduction knocks down the expressiveness of the nose though there is good freshness and vibrancy to the very rich, full and pungently earthy flavors that completely coat the mouth on the beguilingly textured, intense and palate staining finish that delivers huge length though there is a slight trace of warmth discernable right at the very end. Still, this is blessed with so much material that this should impress. Note that I strongly suggest decanting this for at least 30 minutes first if you elect to try a bottle in its youth.

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. |
