Good medium red. Liqueur-like strawberry, raspberry and chocolate on the expressive nose, with an almost roasted ripeness. Rich, lush and fat with fruit and chocolate. Almost thick for this wine. Finishes with good breadth. Plenty of early appeal here.
The 2009 Monthélie Les Duresses is, as expected, juicier and riper than the cooler 2008, yet every bit as compelling. Radiant fruit caresses the palate through to the finish. This is a great introduction to the wines of Dominique Lafon.
