Domaine de Montille

Les Brouillards Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005

Deep cherry in color with earth nose. Tight in the mouth with cherry and other red fruit. Tart and abrupt finish. Expected more. Needs a longer decant than 30 minutes. Hope for improvement with more age.
#noguaranteeswithburgundy Disappointing for de Montille.

I had this fresh back in 2008 (I think) as a burg newb and I remember the barnyard / earth. Sorry to see it hasn't developed quite yet but the 05s are supposed to be rather long-lasting.
