The 1998 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles exhibits hazelnut and floral scents. While it possesses considerable power, depth of fruit, and intensity, as well as a long, well-focused finish, it has a somewhat constricted mid-palate (a too common trait of many 1998s) that will need to flesh out to earn a higher score.
