2011 Monthelie 1er Cru Les Duresses, Comtes Lafon

"This is very pinot with its pure essence of red berries laced with plenty of earth nuances that are also reflected by the supple, round and utterly delicious middle weight flavors that possess a really lovely mouth feel. There is good energy and fine persistence to the balanced finish and overall, this is a wine of surprising refinement that should reward a few years of bottle age. Drink 2015+"  Allen Meadows, Burghound
