Cote de Beaune
u: one 1.5cm, one 2.0cm, one 3.5cm, one lightly torn label, no evidence of seepage

"Sumptuous aromas of spices, yellow plums and buttery toast are found in the nose of the medium to full-bodied 2003 Montrachet. A dense, layered, ample wine of awesome power, it is concentrated, spicy, and velvety-textured. Toasted pears, butter, vanilla, plump yellow fruits, melon balls, and notes of passion fruit make up its extremely extroverted flavor profile. Boasting terrific mouth-feel, it also possesses an exceptionally long, seamless finish. While it is difficult to assess the ageworthiness of such a big, super-ripe white Burgundy, it will unquestionably deliver loads of pleasure if consumed over the next decade and perhaps longer." P. Rovani for R. Parker, 97 pts. 08/05
3 bottles
Estimate $8,500-12,000
