There is lovely aromatic depth to the liqueur of mineral and spice-laden nose of the 2003 Chevalier-Montrachet (white). Toasted nuts, smoky minerals, spices, and hints of oak can be detected in its lush personality. This velvety-textured wine is medium-bodied, well-balanced, and has admirable depth yet reveals a slight alcoholic warmth in the finish that prevented an outstanding score. Projected maturity: now-2011.
