The medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1997 Beaune Greves Vignes de l'Enfant Jesus reveals ripe red and black fruit scents. Medium-to-full-bodied, chewy, rich, and firmly structured, this is a spiced oak and blackberry-flavored offering. It is backward and in need of cellaring. Projected maturity: 2003-2009.
