  8/18/2018 - Kriz Does not like this wine: 80 Points

  It's not corked but you constantly have the idea it is... There is no fruit at all on the nose and the palate has that dry, irritating feeling on your cheeks. I threw it away, wine has to give pleasure, this does'nt. Maybe 80 points is overrated... An unpleasant 2009, unbelievable...

  Disappointing all around. Did not seem to have any depth of red fruits. Nothing really through the mid palate, and then finished with a level of bitterness that I have seen in some 2010 Bourgognes but not in many 2009s.
  
  Perhaps it is just in a weird place right now.
  
  A completely different read than from the first bottle I had two years ago.
  
  On night two, after vacuum corking this noticeably improved. Not much change in the red fruits but a large decrease in the bitterness on the finish. It just may be in a strange sot and need quite a bit of air.
  
  Bumped my score to the high 80s.

  Tried this with the 2010. The 2010 is better, but needs a few years. Bright red fruits on the nose. Raspberry, cranberry, as with many 09 CdB, with substantial oak. Red fruits and oak on the palate with a dry finish.

  Had this wine following a 1997 Volnay Santenots du Milieu so it presented quite a contrast. I did not record formal notes, but wanted to enjoy it in its moment. It had some richness of red fruits but with a young elegance that I quite enjoyed. Then it had a silky mouthfeel that led to a slightly smoky finish. I enjoyed it thoroughly and gives me great hope for what I have of 2009 Volnays and encourages me to seek out others.
