Dubreuil Fontaine, Corton Clos Roi other_regions_italy classic and fresh

classic and fresh

the 1997 Solaia was super-concentrated

Like the Malconsorts this intensely mineral-driven effort is somewhat less structured than usual though it certainly doesn’t lack for power and punch

Patience absolutely necessary for this notably classy effort

Dubreuil Fontaine, Corton Clos Roi other_regions_italy classic and fresh(from a . 62 ha parcel). Slightly more evident though still moderate wood frames the spicier and more sauvage influenced nose of similar dark berries, earth and a gamy hint. There is actually a bit less density to the more finely textured and tautly muscular flavors that exude a pungent minerality on the dusty, long and equally compact finish that should also reward a decade plus of keeping.
