2005 Domaine de Montille, Corton Clos du Roi, Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

"Here 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 it's less fine as well. A stylistic choice." AM for BH Jun 2007
