High score but it was terrific good. Dark color with sweet fruit. Yet mineral and filled the mouth with a lovely spice. One of my first Volnay and sure hard to beat…I am impressed.

Volnay with Jasper Morris MW (67 Pall Mall): Very 2015, with its deep colour and sweet fruit. A touch of Brett gives complexity rather than being off-putting. Tangy and spicy, with notes of Chinese tea.

Domaine Clos de la Chapelle Dinner (Cafe Boulud - New York NY): In 17/16/15/10 vertical. Lots here, but this clearly requires patience. Ripe and powerful with a brooding, nearly sullen character. Tough to assess, but I am optimistic, even if I doubt this will ever equal the 2016.

iglasset.no Konsentrert vin med stor dybde, rød og mørk frukt, fast struktur, kornete tanniner, saftig frukt, men den tanninrike strukturen tar litt overhånd nå. God konsentrasjon, vil utvikle seg fint.

La Paulée de Los Angeles - The Verticals (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Vertical. Firm but the wine's elegance easily shows. Red and black cherry with good+ density. This will be the best of the vertical, but not yet today, 90-91 point potential.

DN: Noe lukket på duft med hint av tre. Fersk og delikat frukt på smak med lette og ferske tanniner. Tørr og lett utgang.
