The ruby-colored 1999 Savigny-Les-Beaune La Batailliere offers sweet, ripe fruit and herbal aromas. Light to medium-bodied and ample, it reveals pleasing blackberry and black currant flavors in its easygoing yet firm personality. If this wine is able to sustain its fruit at bottling, it will ultimately merit a good to very good review.
