The 1996 Pouilly-Fuisse Clos de Monsieur Noly Reserve Vieilles Vignes reveals tropical fruit aromas intertwined with vanilla aromas. This is a richly textured, broad, deep and medium-to-full-bodied offering. Beautifully ripe white peaches and apricots compete with smoke and minerals for the palate's attention in this concentrated and persistent wine. It should be at its peak between 2000 and 2005. The score, noted on a range and in parentheses, indicates that the wine was tasted from barrel. Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Fran Kysela, Winchester, VA; tel (540) 722-9228.
