Revealing candied almonds, marzipan, and over-ripe pear aromas, the Puligny-Montrachet Enseigneres is very opulent. Spiced apples, caramel, poached white fruits, and grilled oak can be found in this thick and medium-to-full-bodied offering. Its finish, rather austere and chalky, prevented it from meriting a higher rating. Drink it between now and 2004. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
Smoky, leesy, apricot-scented nose. Not quite the density or flesh of the Rougeot and dominated by its structure today. This is quite dry, penetrating and backward, and seems lower in residual sugar. From five-year-old vines.
