Copious quantities of mineral, gravel, and spices are found in the nose and flavors of the fresh, fat, rich 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Pucelles. Well-concentrated and ripe, it has a generous mouth-feel that leads to a suave, mineral-laced finish that reveals a hint of alcoholic warmth that prevented a more exalted review. Projected maturity: 2006-2011.
