  Sadly this bottle is a bit over the hill, interestingly the cork says its a 1er caillerets although I don't think it's tastes that level, it improves with time open, but still feels on the edge of corked, fortunately the other 2 bottles we had were lovely.
  Edit: after 2-3 hrs decanted all the mustiness has gone, but ts still not as vibrant as previous bottles, but is a very pleasant mature volnay

  Light bricking at the rim. Big rich nose of kirsch with some mushroomy notes. Wonderfully silky in the mouth, red cherry fruit, a little blackcurrant with some forest floor, still some acidity on the finish which gives it a nice lift and keeps it fresh
