    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine de Montille, Volnay, Taillepieds, 1er Cru, 2005

    Sensational, a fabulous array of wild fruit - blackberries, damson, cherries, harnessed by powerful but velvety fruit tannins, finishing on complex, deep mineral nuances. Intense, imposing but nothing out of place.

    ABV:
    12.5%
    93+/100

    Good deep red. Musky, highly aromatic nose hints at red berries, minerals, flowers and spices. Densely packed but juicy, tight and imploded today, with its fruit flavors currently dominated by structure. This, too, boasts terrific sappy energy and elegance, not to mention length, but may well require a decade of patience. Very impressive.
