As good as this is though

de Montille, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2009 The understated(100% stems). An elegant and ultra pure red pinot fruit nose is liberally laced with warm earth and floral nuances, both of which can be found on the equally pure and almost painfully intense flavors that possess excellent power and pin point detail, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and dramatically long finish. If this can add depth over the next decade or so, it should merit the top of my predicted range. (91 94) 2024+
