Score 96/100 · Drink 2006-2015, Pierre Rovani, Feb 1998

This estate's 1996 Montrachet is an extraordinary wine. Complex aromas of minerals, stones, flowers, and sweet toast are followed by a massively powerful and refined personality. Mouth-coating and intense, with saturating waves of roasted peaches, anise, liquid minerals and rocks, this is an oily-textured, broad, and elegant blockbuster of a wine! Gorgeously-balanced and focused, it should age admirably well. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2015+.

Oily, resiny, oaky nose. Rich and large-scaled in the mouth, with nicely buffered acids, but totally withdrawn and bound-up today. Compared to this, the Demoiselles is easy to taste! Best now on the long, palate-staining finish. Needs a good decade of aging.
