Top Volnay Producers and Vineyards 1971-2006 (Custom House Tavern - Chicago IL): Single blind with Volnay 1er 1971-1990. Lots of primary fruit and very good spice with some emerging forest floor. Palate was a bit more mature, with some very good spice and fruit remaining, but a little flabby, almost showing some hints of muddiness. Drink up.

LdC Top Volnay Shootout (Custom House): Pale garnet brick color. Lovely rich bit briar spicy red cherry nose with hints of dried rose. Full brigth marichino red cherry fruit on the palate with prickly acidity. A nice mature burg with a little better nose than palate. 93-94 pts.
