    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine de Montille, Vosne Romanée, Aux Malconsorts Christianne, 1er Cru, 2005

    This comes from a specific parcel of Malconsorts the other side of the road to the main vineyard, situated next to the original part of La Tâche. A very special parcel indeed that produces wine that bears more than a passing resemblance to its illustrious neighbour. Sensationally rich, black ripe, spiced fruits, really silky, velvety textured, wonderful softness of touch, creamy, long complex, and utterly seductive.

    ABV:
    12.5%
    93-96/100
    Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
    (100% vendange entier; 55% new oak): Deep, dark red. Deeply pitched aromas of medicinal black cherry and clove; less floral and spicy than the regular Malconsorts but smells more important. Sappy and extremely concentrated; hugely rich without any impression of heaviness. According to Sieve, the rows of vines that go into this cuvée are a bit less limestone-rich, so this wine is silkier and more delicate in the early going. Boasts outstanding breadth and sap but will need considerable cellaring. Finishes with chewy but refined tannins and slowly building savory length. Grand cru quality here.
