94-96 WA "It was difficult to decipher the 2002 Batard-Montrachet’s nose, as the sample I tasted was slightly reduced. (This will easily dissipate with its pre-bottling racking). On the palate, however, there is no mistaking this exceptional wine’s quality. Armed with massive power, huge depth, concentration, purity, and length, this medium-bodied, muscular wine coats the taster’s palate with thick, rich layers of candied, sappy minerals. Pears, apples, spices, and ginger can be found throughout its boldly flavored, impressively long finish."
