1/7/2016 - carlwhat wrote: NRi think i'm missing something here. the acid seemed to be overwhelming. the fruit was more harsh than smooth; and for me this wine was disjointed and left me with a sour look on my face. granted, this wine opened up a bit and improved over time (most young wines do); but where was the exuberant expression of fruit that i normally associate with 2009 red burgs? where was the velvety mouth feel that i expect from volnay? ok so perhaps a young taillepieds can be a bit rough when young, but this rough? can only hope it gets better...

5/11/2014 - dansamsoe Does not like this wine: NRWeak. Surprising young with lot of acidity and structure but on the other hand also oxidative notes of hazelnuts. It's not really exciting or in balance. A bit of vanilla biscuit also. Given the oxidative notes, I can't really see this improving into something memorable.
