The medium to dark ruby-colored 1997 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Narbantons possesses a dense, backward, sur-maturite fruit-laden nose. On the palate, it is stuffed with baked blackberries, freshly laid road tar, and stones. This highly concentrated, intense, powerful, and firm wine also possesses a long, warm (slightly alcoholic), embracing finish. Projected maturity: 2002-2008.
