  PnP and slow ox for 45 minutes prior to diner in Burg glasses and btl. Served between 58-62 degrees. Semi translucent red color with ambering edges. Slightly closed on palate for first 15 minutes or so but rapidly fleshed out. Aroma's of berries, spice and abundant forest floor. Palate shows a range of; dark raspberry, dark cherry, spice, mineral and lots of underbrush along with mushroom. At fully 16 years out this is at peak or very close but should roll along nicely for another 5 years+. Balanced, harmonious and classic Volnay with a silky mouthfeel. Perfect weight! Alc 13.5% Dam, I wish I had a couple more of these! Maybe the all round best D'Angerville yet and I have several of the single vineyards 1ers Crus from 02, 05,06,07 & 08. Stopped buying as priced jumped a bunch for the '09s forward. This cuvee 1er Cru ( unnamed 1er Cru) might be a lone qpr point for this highly chased producer?

  Disappointing. I sampled this over the course of hours, and gave it plenty of opportunity to open up with air. Apart of a softening of structure over the course of those hours, there was not much improvement. There was no increasing lift to the fruit, nor any increase in fruit sweetness. The result was a consistently tart and dry palate, highlighted by tea, dryness, and some bottom notes of red fruit and forest floor. Cellaring this wine was a waste.

  Not impressed. Purchased on release, and this bottle does not convince that cellaring was worth it. The fruit shows as if it has waned, rather than being in reserve, such that if you told me that it still needs time, I would tell you that it seems that its best days are in the past, and further aging will just thin it out more. Perfectly adequate, but I was expecting more.

  So much more interesting than previous btls. Balanced, harmonious and classic Volnay with a silky mouthfeel. Perfect weight! This was a very smart buy and I'm really happy to have one more in the hopper. No rush but drinking very well right now. Should easily go annother 5yrs plus.

  Bright medium red. Fruit smells and tastes fresh. Very lively and has several very good years ahead of it
