Still going strong. Dark fruit with coffee notes. Savory. Fine tannins. No rush to drink remaining bottles.

Wow, if I had to chose between many of my CDPs and this wine, I'd definitely prefer this majority Grenache/Syrah blend. Lots of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums. Some tar and spice. Garrigue, big time. Smooth and silky. Quite savory and discernible fine tannins. Not showing its age at all. The last bottle will remain in my cellar for a while. Very delicious!

I can't put it any better than 'Eudemis', his critique is on the mark. I opened the bottle about 5 hours before sharing it at a meeting with wine friends (at a fabulous Fort Lauderdale restaurant: Maass). Yes, it was pretty dark golden yellow but the oxidative notes present at first opening it had blown off. The other bottles I still have will stay in my cellar for a while.

Aromatic, savory wine. Dark stone fruit, some smoke and leather. Has aged well and promises to stay in good shape for several years. Great QPR.

Lovely! Earthy and smoky with lots of delicious dark berries. A little spicy and a little salty. Medium bodied and very easy drinking at 13 % Alc. Drink or hold.

Similar to my last bottle. I'm missing wild strawberry in this wine, one reason I love Volnay so much.

3/27/2024 - Mossrose Likes this wine:

Lovely wine, as stated before. I will drink my last bottle within a year or two.

3/24/2024 - Mossrose Likes this wine:

Earthy, dry, resolved tannins, little fruit.

I had few expectations after reading the other notes on CT. Maybe you all drank it way too early.
It's quite lovely now. Dark cherry and berry fruit leading into leather, dark chocolate, and a pleasant touch of tar. Fine tannins, good acidity. Excellent QPR.

3/22/2024 - Mossrose Likes this wine:

Pomegranate and raspberry leading into a lovely savory and tannic cushion. Quite lovely. Wish I had more. Drink or hold for another 2 or three years.

Great QPR. The wines still has nice dark cherry fruit and some tannins.

Light in appearance. Red berry fruit and fresh green herbs. Lots of mineral, some tannins. Lacks depth. Previous vintages struck me as being much more charming.

2/19/2024 - Mossrose Likes this wine:

Surprisingly, this wine held up very well. Dark purple red with minimal browning. Cassis and blackberry aromas. Smooth and rich, residual tannins, good acid. Rocking!

2/18/2024 - Mossrose Likes this wine:

Not over the hill yet. It's lost most of the fruit but acid tannin balance remains great. No funk. Still clear. Great with grilled Lamb chops.

Medium to full bodied wine with dark berry and cherry aroma. Some tar and leather developing. Good tannins. Delicious. Drink or hold.

After an hour of air this wine opens up with a complex aroma of dark berries, plums, and some cigar box. Savory, big, tannic. Has years left.

2/3/2024 - Mossrose Likes this wine:

Roses and tar, some dark cherry and dark berries. Aromatic and well balanced. Still very tight and tannic, needs at least an hour of air. Should keep for many years to come.

Nice surprise. Very dark in color, not much bricking. Leather and dark plum aromas. Persistent tannins. Medium to full bodied. This will be fine for a few more years. Shining with Rao's tomato sauce and home made eggplant and beef meatballs. And lots of parmigiano...

Sure holding up well. Brooding, smooth and dry. Dark berry fruit, some leather. Good balance. Medium to heavy bodied.

Would not have immediately guessed this was a pinot; an earthy, funky nose was more reminiscent of gamay. Medium bodied, easy drinking, relatively simple.
