  I have never had a disappointing bottle from the unfashionable '91 vintage but this was the first time I have understood the magic of Hubert de Montille, much praised by many Burgundy connoisseurs. It was a lovely medium bodied Volnay with precise aromas of rich pinot laced with elegant mineral and still some primary fruit along with forest floor, velvety texture, lively acidity and some firmness and hints of kirsch on the finish. It evolved in the glass towards greater weight and firmness on the finish but a tiny hint of coming decay showed in its aromas and in greater diffuseness and, unusually, I preferred its initial showing. Nevertheless very good.
