this was nice with red fruits and decent acidity, felt a little more giving than many of the 2005's I've had over the last few years, and not as big and brutish (tho still a little more full bodied than I think of when drinking Volnay)... OK QPR at $106 (incl. tax / shpmt)

good bottle. could easily go another 30 years. tart red and black fruit. acidity is a treat. fairly intense at this stage even after considerable decant.

Ruby with medium viscosity in the glass. Muted nose of tart red fruit and powdered Kool-Aid. Medium body and elevated with bright, ripe red fruit. Primary and tart with a touch of spiciness. Hyper structured and simple. Medium finish. Despite being young, I expect more from this pedigree.

Dark garnet. Violets and cherry nose. Palate adds a charry note. This is big bodied, long and very nicely balanced. Tannins completely integrated.
Really very complete and much bolder in expression than I am used to from Volnay wines.
