PnP and consumed over 2 hours with dinner. Beautiful aromas of dark plums, blackberries, and traces of herbs, tobacco, smoked meat and olives. Took 30 minutes to open up in the glass. Full bodied with a long slightly tannic mineral tinged finish. Great balance without being full-blown over the top new world Syrah. Early maturity and ageing gracefully. (298 views)

Still drinking well with plenty of orange stone fruit but won't improve from here. Drink up, preferable with food. (131 views)

Mature. Lots of integrated wood notes, dried red and black fruit and a bit of herbs. Fine tannins on the medium finish. Classic Barolo aromas and mouthfeel but on ripe rustic and oaked side of the spectrum. (135 views)

Rich dark fruit, potpourri and earth. Wonderful balance and a great value at ~$25. (630 views)

Perfect cork and fill. Shockingly young initial presentation. Crimson to rusty red with minimal bricking. Bright red cherry, brambly berry fruit and a hint of green tobacco. Needed 2+hours to mellow and drank very well the following 2 hours. Plenty of acidity, fruit and a fine grain tannins remain. Impressive for its age. This particular bottle could have easily aged and improved another 10+ years. (243 views)

Lot # L06-20. Rich mature and moderately complex. Plenty of nutty and oxidative notes accompanied by straw, biscuit and some fading fruit. Enjoyable but not memorable given the Terroir. Improved slightly with air but it's a good PnP. Drink soon. (374 views)

Dark red and black fruit profile with abundant creamy vanilla oaky notes. Plush and round on the palate. Enjoyable for those who like this style. (185 views)

PnP. Expressive aromas of leather, tobacco, brambly dark fruits and graphite. Fourth consistent bottle out of a well-stored case and they continue to mature and improve. Great balance with a few tannins in reserve. Drinking very well now and should hold for ~10 years. (1431 views)

PnP and consumed over 4 hours. Some brooding red fruit but mostly closed on the nose. Disjointed acidity on the palate. Balanced a bit with three hours of air but I'd wait at least 5-10 years on this. Overall disappointed for a Volnay, especially given the wine club price. (193 views)

Decanted in Reidel Cabernet decanter and consumed over 3 hours with dinner. Stunning complex bouquet immediately after pouring into the glass. Gobs of black fruits, licorice, dark chocolate and spices. Seamless rich texture on the palate with almost no perceptible tannins. Long, mineral and spice tinged finish. Exceptional the first 30 minutes before it quickly fell apart and leveled off the rest of the evening to show more alcohol and simpler notes with disjointed acidity. The table agreed. Highly recommend not decanting. At peak, IMO. (165 views)

Acquired from the K&L offer in 2012. Decanted and consumed over two hours with dinner. Absolutely gorgeous classic Barolo notes of tar, roses, sweet red fruit, with new leather, and a hint of menthol. Still youthful in color with minimal bricking. Plenty of richness and mellow acidity. Tannins are sweet and mostly resolved. Paired well with a variety of foods. Truly great from nose to finish. Was great right away and didn't need the decant. Don't hesitate to open one soon!

PnP and consumed over ~10hrs. Very showy right out of the gate! Absolutely massive with complex aromas of black plums, berries, chocolate and spices. Lush and full on the palate with fine, mouth coating tannins on the long finish. Some earth and graphite as well. Drank beautifully the first three hours then started to close in showing more tannins and structure at the end of the bottle. This could continue to pleasantly evolve but is in a great place now. Don't hesitate to open one. (601 views)

PnP and consumed over ~10hrs. This bottle was clearly shut down. Did not evolve much with air. Very primary with high acids, bright red fruits. Some cocoa and spice in the background with an acid and mineral laced medium finish. This should age well and I plan to give my remaining bottles at least 10 years. (522 views)
