Mouth-watering scents of fruit cake, spices, and poached pears are found in the 1997 Savennieres Clos du Papillon's nose. The wine offers loads of pears, apples, mangoes, and powerful spices in its thickly-textured, medium-to-full body. Full-flavored, yet highly-detailed, balanced, and precise, it can be enjoyed in the near term for its luscious fruit. With cellaring, this appellation's trademark minerality will blossom. Anticipated maturity: now-2010+. Importer: Ex Cellars, Solvang, CA; tel (805) 686-9153.
