My Birthday Burgs 2016 Session 2 (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Pop and poured. Drank over 2 hours. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensiy, with aromas of floral perfume, sweet baking spices, sweet earth, red cherries, and a bit of a metallic minerality with more air. Developed. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet elegant red cherries, sweet spices, earth. Long finish. Very good quality. Floral and elegant Volnay. Very glad that this 2004 does not have any green notes. Drink up and enjoy.

Nose of ripe tropical red fruits. Not very complex. Silky texture and no lean vegetal notes that I normally find I 04's. Very good but not exciting for a 1er cru.

Trip to Burgundy; 3/20/2006-3/24/2006 (Burgundy): Tasting, brief note. Also attractive aromas to start with spice, floral and red fruit, but less appealing flavors and structure too firm for the long-term fruit quality.

Elegant bouquet of Red fruits & slightest hint of Herbs. Smooth elegant red fruits on palate with nice midpalate & smooth finish.
