Community Tasting Note

DoubleMagnum Likes this wine:

Tuesday, June 2, 2020 - Medium ruby in color. Clear appearance. No sediment visible. Medium intensity on the nose with notes of strawberry, raspberry, cedar and soil. Dry but full of fruit on the palate. Very ripe, almost new world ripeness. The wife asked if it was CdP. I wouldn't go that far but with what I've seen coming out of California & Oregon recently, I don't know if on a blind I'd call Burgundy, let alone Volnay on this. The ripeness reminds me of 2009 and close to 2003. Acid is medium plus, tannins are slightly under medium and rounded. Mouthfeel is silky and delicate. Alcohol is in check. No heat perceived. The finish is medium. Not the most complex Volnay I've had but this is a village wine. It still has some time to develop more tertiaries in my opinion. But it's drinking so well right now, I'd find it very hard to resist.
