The 1999 Criots-Batard-Montrachet has powerful mineral aromas. This oily-textured wine is thick, fat, and dense yet remains elegant and focused. It is harmonious, muscular, and has an intense mineral-laden-core whose flavors are maintained throughout its extraordinarily long finish. Projected maturity: 2002-2014.
