The fresh, mineral-dominated nose of the 2002 Criots-Batard-Montrachet leads to a hugely concentrated, deep, oily-textured personality packed with syrupy stones, spices, pears, sappy minerals, and copious spices. Medium-bodied and powerful, it also reveals an extraordinarily long, flavor-packed finish. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.
