The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Savigny-Les-Beaune is excellent. It boasts dark cherry and blackberry aromas that lead to a fruit-packed, medium-bodied personality. This satin-textured, lush, dark fruit and raspberry-filled wine coats the palate with loads of candied flavors. It is extroverted, seamless, and immensely pleasurable. Drink it over the next 6 years.
