Domaine de Montille Corton Clos du Roi 2016

A spicy, pure, cool and strikingly floral-suffused nose blends strikingly complex aromas of dark currant, rose petal, violet, earth and plenty of sauvage nuances. There is an overt muscularity and focused power to the broad-shouldered flavors that terminate in an austere, rustic, palate staining and persistent finish where the minerality really comes up right at the end.

This isn't quite as concentrated as the Santenots but it's even more powerful and even a bit more structured as well. Patience absolutely required.
