Thursday, April 12, 2012 - Random Notes from Travels in France; 4/6/2012-4/14/2012 (Paris, Loire, Alsace): What a thrill to find and drink this. Deep ruby without clearing. Intense perfume of violets and black fruit. No evident wood, all pure fruit. Lean, linear and dry, just beginning to gain some flesh, but essentially strict without any sweetness or excess fat. Gorgeous acidity and an amazing finish which leaves stone dust on the tongue for minutes. Quintessential, pure Volnay. It had much more in common with the Frederic Emile Riesling alongside it than the wood drenched Vosne Suchots we had at lunch. A very great Volnay in the making. Optimally, hold until 2025 for full development, but if like me, you must try one now, that's okay too.
