de Montille, Corton Clos Roi other_regions_italy indeed this may the first

indeed this may the first vintage in quite a while where it is ready before the Richebourg

This very firm effort will require 12 to 15 years of bottle age to arrive at its full apogee

round and delicious medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins while offering good length on the balanced finish

Even with all of the concentration

de Montille, Corton Clos Roi other_regions_italy indeed this may the firstHere the nose is more deeply pitched with notes of earth, game, smoke and underbrush adding interest to the briar and red berry fruit aromas that lead to serious, brooding and reserved big bodied flavors that are underpinned by firm but not aggressive tannins and excellent length. There is slightly more depth here than in the Pougets though its less fine as well. A stylistic choice. (91 93) 2017+
