Spiced minerals and creamed pears burst from the glass of the 2003 Saint Aubin Murger des Dents de Chiens (white). Rich and fleshy, this velvety-textured, medium-bodied wine explodes on the palate with layers of liquefied minerals, sap, and syrupy stones. Hugely spicy, it sports a long, flavorful, angle-free finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
