Sumptuous aromas of spices, yellow plums and buttery toast are found in the

nose of the medium to full - bodied 2003 Montrachet. A dense, layered, ample

wine of awesome power, it is concentrated, spicy, and velvety - textured. Toasted

pears, butter, vanilla, plump yellow fruits, melon balls, and notes of passion

fruit make up its extremely extroverted flavor profile. Boasting terrific mouth -

feel, it also possesses an exceptionally long, seamless finish. While it is difficult

to assess the ageworthiness of such a big, super - ripe white Burgundy, it will

unquestionably deliver loads of pleasure if consumed over the next decade and

perhaps longer. /RP /Aug 2005
