Intense notes of syrupy minerals dominate the powerful aromatic profile of the 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de Cailleret. This lush, deep offering boasts a broad, extroverted character packed with white fruits and minerals. Thick, angle-free, and concentrated, this wine’s forward, open-knit nature leads me to believe it will deliver enormous pleasure in the near term yet won’t make old bones. Projected maturity: now-2009.
