  Volnay 1er Cru 2005 Tasting (Chicago IL): Single blind in 2005 Volnay flight. Big and brawny, this is a lot here but this shows the problematic 2005 structure front-and-center. This certainly has the stuffing to hold on ,so maybe better from 2030 or 2035?

  A wine still in its adolescent. Amazingly, still ruby red with no bricking whatsoever . At this stage best part of the wine is the pure red fruited floral nose. An indication of its potential greatness. The palate is still very clenched and reticent. The fruit is there but behind an austere structure. The tanins while considerable at not dry but quite fine and tend to give this wine its austerity. I wouldn’t give up on this wine as the material is deep, there is no dryness so my guess another 10 years will be needed for this to open up in all its glory. Fingers crossed!

  Bu face au Clos des Ducs. Le Clos est nettement plus évolué mais on ne sait pas si c’est la règle ou l’exception. Le Champans paraît encore assez jeune, primaire, avec assez de tannins qui se sont toutefois vraisemblablement assouplis par rapport à ce qu’on s’attend avec le millésime. N’a pas encore atteint le sommet de sa complexité je crois donc aucune presse à le boire.

  Two consistent bottles of this, very pleasant, open, accessible, straightforwardly pleasurable. Would agree with the 2019 note that there is not much power or weight here, a very soft and short wine. Fading red cherry. At least it’s resolved and integrated and is easy drinking. 91+

  gets 10 points extra for a decent, even a little enticing, nose. Quite floral.
  But then you get hit with a wall of coarse tannins, background hiding some fruit, but after 17 years, only a despot would assume this will ever come into balance.
  A poorly made wine, ridiculously over-extracted, par for the course with this Domaine.
  The Emperor and his clothes strikes again!!
