Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2001-2006, Pierre Rovani, Feb 1999

The delightful Meursault Goutte d'Or, harvested at a whopping 13.5% natural potential alcohol, has a nose composed of minerals, honeysuckle blossoms, stones, and citrus fruits. This creamy-textured, masculine, and dense wine explodes on the palate with a dizzying array of tropical fruits, hazelnut butter, candied lemons, and spicy oak. It is full-bodied, hedonistic, and powerful. It would have merited a more glowing review if its finish had not betrayed its high level of alcohol. Drink it between 2001 and 2006. Importer: Ex Cellars, Boston, MA; tel (617) 876-5105.
