  • This has come a long way in 6.5 years. Though the 2006 Clos des Ducs still seems young, I love its black and red cherry profile with a slightly griottine-like sapidity. Full-fruited yet lively, this is drinking well now but I suspect its best years are ahead.

  • I've been a lucky frequent guest of Dave & Desi D's & recently for a feast at Big Al & Janelle's. So, we had both couples over tonight for some trout & Linguini Di Frutti Nita, I & Joe cooked up & paired w/ a couple champagnes, a couple Chablis & a couple red Burgs.

    There have been reports of off btls but tonight's was in great condition! Opened 3hrs prior to dinner. Finding a need for more tannin mgmt, I left the cork out till drinking around 2 adl hrs later. A deeper ruby red w/ trace amber on edgers. Purchased on release & carefully stored. Served in Riedel Burgs between 58-64 degrees. This was drinking quite well. Thinking, an addl 4-10yrs in btl may move this into the mid 90s+. Tonight it showed a slightly austere / mineral Volnay profile with some cherry, spice & underbrush. Hint of mushroom too. Not a rave yet but classic Volnay in the making. I have 2 more & open my next around 2026. 13.5% alc 91-92

  • Angerville spring break (Alex): On the nose, this wine has vegetables, dairy, and wax. The taste is a mixture of barn, dairy and red berries. Metallic finnish.

  • More savoury and a little darker and more tightly wound than I would have expected. Pleasant earth influence to the darker red fruit.

  • Mid garnet. Tart cherry, high toned, with slightly puckering tannin. It's a little tart on its own, but settles well with food. The fruit is still here, but it’s a wine of it’s vintage.

    (Angerville Marquis d' Volnay Clos des Ducs) Like all these wines, just 20% new oak is used during elevage. A wider and finer nose that is edged with some caramel depth. In the mouth this is a little more austere and mouth-filling. Fine acidity and concentration. A super dark length penetrates the tongue. Eventually a haunting red note on the nose - class, expensive, but class!
