Domaine de Montille Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds 2019

12% Cabernet Franc and 9% Petit Verdot shows notes of burning embers/charcoal

lengthy and impeccably well-balanced finish save for a trace of warmth

but perhaps the ultimate example because the intense botrytis and unctuosity the wine possesses is buttressed by slightly more acidity

spicy and quite floral nose that features mostly dark berry fruit liqueur-like scents

After thirty minutes in the glass

it remains youthful and will continue to positively develop as the full-bodied

Here too the wood treatment is subtle yet just prominent enough to warrant pointing out on the cool

weight and mid-palate concentration that coats the palate with dry extract and enrobes the firm tannic spine to the point where it is more of a background element than usual

The palate is very harmonious

This velvety but relatively powerful wine exhibits good delineation for the vintage as well as moderate austerity which is also relatively rare in this opulent year

fine tannin and length on the finish

serious and youthfully austere finale
