  May 18, 2022 - The last time I opened a bottle of this it was a mistake, I misread the label and opened it too soon. This time it was premeditated and in fact I've been planning it for awhile. i am not disappointed. It's beautiful right now, just teetering on the razor's edge between primary fruit and the earliest development of secondary characteristics.
  
  Dark garnet color. Heady nose of Volnay perfume, and I apologize in advance for saying that to me it seems feminine and seductive. There's lovely pinot fruit, ripe red berry and cherry with a soft ferrous, perhaps graphite mineral edge. Soft again on the palate, juicy but still a bit of restraint and the earliest suggestions of earthiness on the balanced, graceful finish. Hard to pick a drink date but 10 years seems fair from here.
