de Montille, Corton Clos Roi Vintage:2017 Both the 2010 and theHere 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.
