Jancis Robinson: Pale smudgy rust red. Sweet, mushroomy and very fulfilling and rich (almost Algerian!?) Quite different from the 1969 and 1971 and 1978. Much gamier and richer. Burly, but nic...

Burghound: An ultra-elegant and exceptionally pure nose of wild raspberries and both red and black currants introduces seductively textured and silky middle weight flavors that are utter...

Wine Spectator: A vibrant, racy style, delivering pure cherry, raspberry and floral flavors underscored by mineral notes. Though not a big wine, this has intensity and a saturation of flavor ...

Jancis Robinson: Pale fox red. Gamey and quite rich as though chaptalised more fiercely than the 1971. But lots of impact. A bit burly and brutal. A bit dry on the end. 17 / 20

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, dark red. Extremely closed nose hints at wild berries, cocoa powder, iron, rose petal and pepper. Juicy, vibrant and youthfully imploded, already showing excitin...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The Potel 2005 Chambertin Clos de Beze thus had a very hard act to follow, but its rose petal, licorice, orange zest, black raspberry and cassis perfume are captivating. Less ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Inky dark berries, redcurrant, licorice, flowers and smoky minerality on the nose. Juicy, spicy and seamless, with terrific cut and precision to its almost pa...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Deep, sweet, classic Clos de Tart aromas and flavors of dark raspberry, dried flowers, minerals and fresh violet and rose. Dense, round, superripe and compell...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Deep red. Briary raspberry, blueberry, mocha and menthol on the nose, lifted by peppery spices; a real essence of this grand cru. Then creamier and larger-scaled than the Cham...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Full red-ruby color. Knockout, superripe nose combines raspberry, blueberry, mocha and underbrush. Wonderfully sweet, fat and fine-grained; conveys the impression of volume wi...

Jancis Robinson: Very pale fox red. Rich and sweet and hedonistic. A delightful edge of decay and throat soother. Jewelly finish. Sweet and pure. 17.5 / 20

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 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 blac...

Burghound: Strong reduction again precludes a satisfactory examination of the aromas. By contrast to the funky nose there is excellent verve and freshness to the concentrated, detailed a...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright full, deep red. Sexy, vibrant aromas of crushed dark fruits. Sappy, concentrated and deep, boasting superb inner-mouth tension and precision to the extremely primary ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Richebourg boasts a huge center of fruit, deeply pitched, expressive aromatics and tons of structure to back it all up. Violets, menthol and spices develop in the gla...

Wine Spectator: Dark and polished to a high gleam of black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and smoky toast aromas and flavors. Unabashedly modern, yet also delicious for its pure fruit notes and ...

Burghound: Note: from vines situated in En Orveaux planted in 1923, 1947, 1964 and 1979 totaling .56 ha. As is it in 2010, this is notably riper with spicy aromas of dark berry and viole...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Complex, expressive, soil-driven nose offers raspberry, cocoa powder, spices and flinty minerality. Sappy and sweet in the mouth, with a penetrating quality to ...

Jancis Robinson: Very heady and almost medicinal nose. Very lively and rich and dancing. Fleshy and seductive. Lovely hedonistic stuff - much more developed than the 1993 and 1995. Drink 2012 ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright medium red. Sexy spices and a hint of peach give a somewhat exotic quality to the raspberry aroma. Rich and broad but with a restrained sweetness; this is a bit reduc...
