young wine with terrific finishing grip

A point of acidity adds levity and length

particularly on the superbly complex and highly persistent finish

later than in other vintages

graphite and smoke is not intense but gains vigor with continued aeration

de Montille, Corton Clos Roi other_regions_italy young wine with terrific finishingHere 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+
