Corton Clos du Roi, Domaine de Montille 2009

Soft wood frames the spicy and discreetly earth and animale-infused mix of red and dark berry fruit aromas where the earth continues onto the big, muscular and powerful flavors that brim with an abundance of dry extract that renders the firm tannic spine less prominent on the serious, long and explosive finish. This is a big wine with plenty of focused brawn yet there is almost no rusticity.
