The 2002 Puligny-Monrtrachet En La Richarde was a much deeper color than the Auxey-Duresses Les Clous 2002 that was tasted alongside. Initially it came across heavier on the nose: smoke and hazelnut, a touch of lemon rind, clearly open for business. The palate is beautifully balanced, very intense with razor-sharp acidity. I takes a few minutes to really get into its stride, but then it really flowers and develops subtle nuances of mandarin and a touch of flintiness. This appears to be only just getting into its stride and is remarkably fine given its age, suggesting another decade will be no problem. Tasted January 2016.
