  August 18, 2018 - It's not corked but you constantly have the idea it is... There is no fruit at all on the nose and the palate has that dry, irritating feeling on your cheeks. I threw it away, wine has to give pleasure, this does'nt. Maybe 80 points is overrated... An unpleasant 2009, unbelievable...

  November 28, 2014 - Disappointing all around. Did not seem to have any depth of red fruits. Nothing really through the mid palate, and then finished with a level of bitterness that I have seen in some 2010 Bourgognes but not in many 2009s.
  
  Perhaps it is just in a weird place right now.
  
  A completely different read than from the first bottle I had two years ago.
  
  On night two, after vacuum corking this noticeably improved. Not much change in the red fruits but a large decrease in the bitterness on the finish. It just may be in a strange sot and need quite a bit of air.
  
  Bumped my score to the high 80s.

  September 8, 2012 - Had this wine following a 1997 Volnay Santenots du Milieu so it presented quite a contrast. I did not record formal notes, but wanted to enjoy it in its moment. It had some richness of red fruits but with a young elegance that I quite enjoyed. Then it had a silky mouthfeel that led to a slightly smoky finish. I enjoyed it thoroughly and gives me great hope for what I have of 2009 Volnays and encourages me to seek out others.
