Montrachet 1999

The 1999 Montrachet reveals golden hues to its color and a nose of massive ripeness. Powerful spice scents are intermingled with tropical yellow fruits and anise in its aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, it is fat, plump, oily-textured, and unbelievably rich. Its layers of spices and hyper-ripe fruits are sensually decadent and linger on the taster's palate for a long while. This is a broad, massively dense Montrachet for drinking over the next 8-10 years.
