February 13, 2023 - Mature and well integrated. Wonderful cherry prune with a nice finish. Very sorry this is my last bottle.

November 5, 2021 - Sour off balance Volnay: sour cherry, soft raisin, prune, leather, dusty, light body, dry mediocre finish.

May 20, 2021 - Exploring Volnay: overripe cherry, dried red fruit, raisin, plum, dry, earthy note, dried black fruit, nice acidic backbone, appears to be just over the hill, drank too late? Light to medium body, average aftertaste.

March 1, 2020 - This wine has come into its own. Really lovely spices, soft middle palate and nice tannin dryness. My previous scores indicate that I had not been patient enough

November 19, 2019 - This is the best Volnay I’ve had in years as it’s in a magical spot right now. Nose is mature but not at all senile. Flavors are nicely complex and married. Finish is long. I could drink this all night long. Didn’t detect the slightly hint of sourness as noted by another taster. Tasted at the Flagstaff Restaurant in Boulder, CO.
