Opened one hour prior to service. Translucent medium ruby hue. Bright, unleashed nose of cranberry, sharp raspberry, soaring violets, stone, and cinnamon. Lovely, pristine layers of piquant red raspberry and dark cherry fruit cut with flinty stone, iron particles, and hits of iodine. Initially pliant tannin and truly refreshing acidity leading to a long finish of crisp red berry, tiny iron elements, and light earth. As the evening progressed the tannins seemed to become more prominent and brackish. Excellent with years to go. Rating reflects how wonderfully it showed for the first hour or so.

Elegant aroma of roses and red fruits was present after 1 hr in the glass. The tannin was rounded already and the taste was straight and purely floral and fruity without the "contamination" of spices or earthy feel. A great experience of Volnay wine from Lafon.

Floral jordbær bringebær og litt jord. Stor munnfølelse med lange avrundede tanniner.

like the strawberry nose, not a lot of depth, but a nice wine.

Friday after Thanksgiving (FAT) - Part 1 - Burgundy 2006 (Palm Beach Gardens FL): Small taste, brief note. Red cherry and berry flavors and aromas come across as very ripe with moderate floral and spice support. Forward and very good now and probably best over the next 5-8 years.
