Black cherry, wet earth, just a touch of brett-funk. This should be something special in a few years. Fierce.

A lovely burgundy that drinks very true to form with lively character. Plenty of fruit without being overbearing. Can always count on Moore Bros - another winner.

First, use a large well-shaped glass (this limpid, soft yellow-gold Monthelie is Burgundy, after all, and another textbook example of how fine wine evolves over time after it’s poured). The nose unfolds like a peacock’s tail, with aromas of salted Seckel pears, ripe white peaches, Marcona almonds and lime blossoms moving in and out of the foreground, adding fleeting suggestions of lanolin, balsa, linden, and parsley as the nose develops over time. On the palate, the wine is impressively concentrated, at the same time delicately textured,with an overriding impression of freshness and self-confident elegance. Ample, focused flavors echoing and magnifying the beautiful stone fruit nose are seasoned with palpable briny minerality, and persist in the long, sweet-spice-and-white-pepper seasoned finish. Drink now–2033. — Moore Brothers Wine Co.
