The 1997 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts is an extraordinary wine. Grilled almonds dominate the nose, yet, with coaxing, aromas of honeysuckle, anise, and acacia blossoms made their appearance. On the palate, this intense, white truffle oil, mocha, and mineral-packed wine is opulent and super-sexy. It is full-bodied, dense, plump, immensely flavorful, and assertive. I do not believe it will make old bones, but doubt that readers will be able to resist its joys. What more can one ask for? Drink it over the next 5 years. Bravo!
