The 2000 Pouilly-Fuisse Vieilles Vignes aromatically reveals huge ripeness as well as toasted mineral scents. It is massively powerful, intense, zesty, and concentrated. This medium-bodied wine offers quinine (as in tonic water) immersed minerals as well as poached pear flavors. Silky-textured, it is an in-your-face offering that should become more civilized with cellaring. Projected maturity: 2004-2012. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel.
