85 Points

Friday, May 8, 2009 - Volnay Elegance (The Universal @ Duxton): My goodness, this really "stinks". Manure,horse, leathery and barnyardish. This even had some chianti like cat's pee and shirazy black pepper. It reminds me more of a bordeaux than a burg but I do love the aromas. This is one weird experience. But on the palate though, this is very much back to burgundy with ripe sappy cherries, cherry skins and quite sharp acidity. Pretty tannic, this is the oddest one out of the whole bunch. However, nose for nose and flavour for flavour , this is quite an interesting wine but it does drop points on terroir reflection.
