Great stuff. Balance everywhere, the right levels of freshness and oak. A hint of toast, lemon too, but mainly toffee apple. Nice to be reminded that, in whites at least, Burgundy still offers value.

Had a few bottles of this, might be my first 2015. Brambly fruits and even apple on the nose, all blackberry and vanilla taste. Good concentration and length for the price (ten of the Queen's finest pounds) and a little heat on the back of the throat. Could do with a little more white pepper spice but definitely very good QPR.

No decanting, had to cool slightly in the fridge. Drank over an hour or two. Sensational on the nose, pure Volnay. Cherry sourz and Cola bottle sweets in the mouth. Tannins barely detectable, but nicely tart, so may go for a few years yet. Last one in the shop though ... one more tucked away. Lovely stuff, if not blockbuster.
