Maurice Ecard Savigny-Les-Beaune “Narbantons” 1996
Mature hue. Exuburent sappy, spicy Pinot nose of plum, cherry, game, musk, undergrowth and damp earth. Silky, slippery, light-medium body palate harbouring similar exemplary varietal fruit flavours, wrapped in lively integrated acidity and fine-grained tannins. A kiss of savoury oak on a long, impressive departure. Probably nearing the peak of its powers but should hold for several years. Drink now-2012. Rated as Excellent, about 90 points.
