  Very volnay. 92-93. PNP out of 375. 92 for me, but 93 for others?
  Nose: 93+ Warm berries and ripe earthy notes with medium concentration.
  Palate: 92+. Juicy black raspberry, savory dark red cherry. I don't get overt cranberry here despite it being a 2008! Stoney overlay. Bramble/Sous Boise.
  Structure: Med+ acidity, but elegant and not a 2008 acid bomb. Medium+ finish.
  I typically don't enjoy Volnay or 2008s, but thought this one was rather quaffable. It seems this one has benefited from time in the format?

  At first a distinct blood/iron character to the nose, then deeper down lavender and raspberry soda pop. Well balanced and elegant.

  Chapitre and Induction Dinner of the Chevaliers du Tastevin (Schuyler Meadows Club, Loudonville, NY): [Opened about 5:30pm. Not decanted. Served around 8:15pm.] Rich, tart black cherries in the nose and mouth. So delicious. Classic Volnay. Fully ready. Goes really well with the duck. Amy likes it a lot.

  Clear medium garnet pronounced
  
  Nose of game and cherries.
  
  Good acidity that softens throughout. Wine becomes silky.
  
  Hasn't evolved much in the 3 hours it has been opened but very nice none the less.
  
  Paired with petit salé au lentilles, interesting combination.
