  April 7, 2019 - Savory and meaty but what could be a nice cocoa dusting takes a mildly unappealing roundness, almost like an algae note.

  March 28, 2019 - Bourgogne 2002 tasting. Many top wines from some of the best producers, Rousseau, Roumier, DRC, Leroy etc; 3/28/2019-4/28/2019 (Restaurant Palægade, Copenhagen): Supposedly the lesser wine paired against three grand crus, but it was only the Clos des Lambrays that exceeded it in quality. A little bit tight, with licorice and darker fruit elements, but good balance. A food wine at this point, but a very good showing indeed.

  November 16, 2018 - Either a better bottle than last year or this is on the way up. A few hours of decanting gave us a really funky and interesting wine. A little rough and rustic but sexy, complex, and wonderfully savory. Still say -2022.

  July 1, 2017 - Wonderfully versatile with a nice--if brief--surge. Middle-aged but lacking a little in fruit considering how much structure remains.

  November 5, 2015 - Nose: There is a distinct sour cherry note right off the bat along with earth tones, raspberries, violets, spices, and a touch of leather. There is excellent depth and balance that really draws you in.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity and silky tannins. The feel is refined with sour cherries, raspberries, violets, and earth tones.
  
  Overall: This is a lovely Volnay. It took a few hours to fully get going, but it was quite pretty and refined once it opened up.
