    July 1, 2022 - Utterly delicious and seemingly at peak, with ghostly pale red fruit and rose petal fragrance. 2010s are so fantastic, and I sadly didn't buy enough.

    October 14, 2021 - Classic Volnay nose, lovely sweet red fruit with charming finish on the palate. Good now.

    September 23, 2021 - Tasted over 2 hrs
    -med dark red minimal clearing
    -moderately expressive black cherry funk wet stone
    -med/med+ acidity, med/med- weight focused moderately concentrated fading cherry with creamy top note finishing with med/med- earthy tannins soft oak and a saline note
    -quite good if just a bit on the modern end of the spectrum manifesting as a bit more lush than most village Volnays

    December 16, 2020 - Lovely nose of sweet and savory notes. Delicious on the palate and nice long flavorful finish. This is in a perfect place right now, but will continue to improve for years to come.

    November 25, 2019 - Tasted over 3 hrs
    -med red minimal clearing
    -fragrant sweet violet creamy red fruit
    -med+ acidity, med weight sappy exuberant creamy berry earth, moderately long finish has a sweet oak element that culminates with a med bitter tannic streak
    -probably on its plateau now, good Volnay typicity with some of the energy if not the minerality typical of the vintage, the wood is not excessive but it adds a sweetness and some extra tannin that together may make this a little awkward after a few more years of bottle age
