Bright mature appearance, nose clean mature red berry fruit laced with spice and earth notes. Surprisingly taught initial palate of red berries with a slightly distracting metallic note. After two hours this really opened up to reveal a pure, balanced, harmonious, mature Volnay.

1985 Burgundy Tasting and Dinner (Domaine Storage - Chicago IL): Lightly floral on nose with soft red fruit. Red fruit with a compact earthy element on palate showing emerging forest floor. Good remaining signs of strawberry fruit, showing very clean, elegant and pure Volnay character. Better with food than on its own.
