2012 Domaine de Montille, Corton Clos du Roi, Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

"A ripe and brooding nose that is intensely sauvage in character also grudgingly displays an array of various dark berries cut with plenty of floral influence. This is a markedly muscular wine with excellent size, weight and an almost pungent minerality adding lift to the concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that culminate in an extract-rich, balanced and hugely long finish. This is an impressive old school Corton that is notably firm but not particularly austere. (Drink starting 2024)" AM for BH Apr 2014
