Poached pears and spiced apples can be found in the superb aromatics of the 1999 Nuits-St.-Georges La Perriere (white). Medium to full-bodied, plump, and fat, this is an exceedingly ripe wine, crammed with loads of pears, anise, and toast flavors. It is harmonious, seamless, and reveals an admirably long, pure, and delineated finish. Drink it over the course of the next 10 years.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802.
