  Improved since the previous bottle a year + ago. Lovely nose of fruit and stone. Integrated, balanced, soft, and smooth. Some cherry tartness on the finish. Nice juice!

  No decanting, had to cool slightly in the fridge. Drank over an hour or two. Sensational on the nose, pure Volnay. Cherry sourz and Cola bottle sweets in the mouth. Tannins barely detectable, but nicely tart, so may go for a few years yet. Last one in the shop though ... one more tucked away. Lovely stuff, if not blockbuster.

  Decanted and drank over a four plus hour period. At first, tight and tart with not much interest and a finish that was slightly bitter. After a few hours, it evolved tremendously as it opened up with a nose of red berry, floral, and hint of mineral/stone that followed through on a medium, well rounded, and structured palate. A balanced and lingering finish with dry and present tannins.
