  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.

  Short decant. Quite closed in the beginning. Very soft and muted. Good fruit and very little acidity. Quite charming in an underplayed kind of way. Not much life expectancy left.

  Soft and accessible wine which gains body and fruit intensity over a few hours. Not meant to be a long ager, seems just the right time for this vintage in the village level. It is red fruit dominated with fine tannins and a nice finish. Really nice paired with baked salmon on a weekday evening without much fuss..

  Another Evening of Lafon in Red and White (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Light and limpid. Completely different aromatics than the '09-lifted, fragrant, and full of soil. Strawberry fruit on the attack followed by a savory, licorice finish, fine acidity, and dissolving (or dissolved) tannins. Now this was very Volnay and altogether very fine village wine.
