 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. *Outstanding*  (1/2003)

 Sweet black berries can be discerned in the aromatics of the 2001 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Narbantons. Medium-bodied, lush, and forward, it has an appealingly intense, blackberry-filled character that lingers, revealing a long, supple finish. (PR)  (6/2003)
