2005 Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot
Community Tasting Note

91 Points
Wednesday, February 25, 2015 - A dense, weighty and robust Pinot, vibrant and forceful. Notes of plum, Asian spice and concentrated cherry, smoky and ripe. Chewy tannins with no overt oak. Surprisingly good relative to my own expectations from past bottles not reviewed.
