Note di degustazione
The 1991 Montrachet is a gorgeous wine that captures an elusive state where it is both mature and yet still offers a good deal of freshness for its age. Creamy and ample in feel, with terrific resonance, the 1991 is superb. Dried herb, hazelnut, orange peel and vanillin are some of the many strands of nuance that develop over time. More than anything else, it is the interplay or gently evolved notes from bottle age and the wine’s underlying energy that make for a fabulous drinking experience. Tasted at the Los Angeles DRC Montrachet vertical.

The 1991 Montrachet is in my view the most complete, harmonious and resolved of these four magnificent wines today. At a peak of its expression, the 1991 delivers the goods. It is at once mature yet opulent, feminine yet virile, and constantly changing in the glass, with layers of pure dimension that captivate all the senses. Almonds, hazelnuts and dried flowers abound are some of the notes that open up in the glass, but above all else, the 1991 is a wine of texture beautifully softened by the slow passage of time. Readers lucky enough to own the 1991 are in for a real treat. The 1991 is not an opulent or obvious wine, but rather a wine built on understatement. Arguably the least famous of these four Montrachets, on this day, the 1991 is simply stunning.
