  This specimen was in a great spot. Nice rich red fruit melange fruit, mushroom damp earth, and savory through and through. Very unfiltered and cloudy. Pleasant mouthfeel, and a delicious medium body. Worth mentioning is a pretty pure mineral component that added to the framework. Really nice.

  Great color, fingering and wonderful nose of earth floor, with mushroom. Superb mouth feel, notes of black cherry and a short/medium finish.

  Good concentration. A little cloudy on appearance, still very vibrant fruit although acid is maybe a little in the forefront.

  Very good concentration, excellent balance and beautiful long finish. Notes of blueberry, raspberry and anise. Nose has a very earthy quality.

  Generous, perfumed and almost flowery nose with violets, raisins, and surprisingly dark fruit for a Volnay. Spicy oak character. There are some green notes as well. Forward, but not very elegant.
  Medium-fullish body. Good concentration. Some hard tannins. Oaky, succulent and perfumed. Lacking some grip. A mintiness of almost Aussie character (!).
  Tasted blind, the perfume could be a sign of Volnay, but it was rather full, a bit clumsy, and not very delicate or balanced. But good wine drinking well.
