the former bringing power

earth and ferrous-earth aromas are in keeping with the equally serious and tightly wound flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the dense and superbly long finish

Bernard Morey, Puligny Montrachet Truffiere Vintage:2001 the former bringing power(1994 was the first vintage for this wine and it comes from a mix of 20 and 50 year old vines).
