Subtle, steely aromas of peach, soft citrus fruits, nut butter and charred oak. Sweet, peachy and intensely flavored, with strong acidity and minerality giving the wine a penetrating quality and superb nervosite Very Puligny in style, finishing with excellent grip. This has turned out impressively.

The spice and flower-scented 2000 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres is velvety-textured and medium to full-bodied. This sexy wine is stacked in all the right places. Poached pears, buttered apples, cinnamon, and vanilla can be found in this spicy, extroverted beauty's core fruit. Anticipated maturity: now-2008.

Very pure. A bit tight and hard. But then it opened out to bright golden fresh fruit. A case for decanting white burgundies such as this? (JR)
