Delicate mineral aromas are exhibited by the 1999 Puligny-Montrachet La Truffiere. Medium-bodied and revealing outstanding underlying richness, this earth, mineral, and juicy citrus fruit-flavored wine would have earned an outstanding 90-point rating if its finish had been longer and more supple. It is, however, unquestionably an excellent wine, with gorgeously detailed flavors. Projected maturity: now-2007.
