Drouhin's 1998 Montrachet offers flowers, nuts, and spices in its aromatics. This medium-bodied, spice cake and dried honey-laden, mineral-flavored wine is more harmonious than the majority of its 1998 brethren. It is expansive, well-balanced, and possesses a long, smooth, and crystalline finish. Projected maturity: now-2009. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel (212) 818-0770.
