From vines dating back to 1925 and 1930, the intensely aromatic 2002 Montrachet bursts from the glass with resiny minerals, poached pears, and spices. This is a wine of great richness, breadth, and length. Its deep, fleshy, medium-bodied personality offers awesome layers of minerals and quartz. Pure, detailed and ripe, it is a candidate for drinking between 2008 and 2017. - PR

Tight yet fragrant aromas of stunning complexity reveal hints of peach, pear and a trace of wood spice, leading to large-scaled, extremely ripe flavors that stain the palate with wave after wave of sappy extract. Exceptionally powerful and very masculine, this is a very backward wine today with impressive focus and precision and it will require a minimum of 5 to 7 years of cellar time to arrive at its peak, though it should be capable of lasting a good deal longer.
