de Montille, Pommard Grands Epenots Vintage:2013 the 2013 Pinot Noir Porcupine

the 2013 Pinot Noir Porcupine Hill knocks it out of the park with it intensity and depth

all surrounded by jammy flavors of cherry confit and blackberry marmalade

Well-proportioned and built for the long haul

This is a vintage where managing the crop load was critical in achieving balance

de Montille, Pommard Grands Epenots Vintage:2013 the 2013 Pinot Noir Porcupine(33% stems). A perfumed, airy and elegant nose offers up notes of essence of red currant, dried flowers, anise and clove along with an abundance of warm earth. There is excellent purity to the delicious, intense and sleekly muscular flavors that are shaped by relatively fine grained tannins, all wrapped in a long and mouth coating finish that displays just the barest hint of rusticity. I very much like this generous yet refined effort. (91 93) 2021+
