The medium ruby-colored 1990 Savigny Les Beaune-Serpentieres has a closed nose of earthy, cherry, dried pit fruit aromas. Medium-bodied, with fine extract and fruit, as well as more noticeable tannins, this wine can be drunk now, although it would benefit from 1-2 years of cellaring. It should last for 8-10 years.
Drouhin makes stylish, elegant red burgundies which, from a technical point of view, are always flawless. His 1990s from the Cote de Beaune are lovely, pure, medium-weight wines with both elegance and gracefulness. The characteristics of the 1990 vintage - the super color, sweet, expansive fruit and ripeness - are also apparent, despite the Drouhin signature. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY.
