  Palate is muted and not giving, kind of tough and hard. Fruit is not the usual charming 2010 profile. Drinkable. 90-91

  Not very impressed by the wine. A bit four squared on the palate with a dry finish.

  Coming from the central part of Les Santenots, situated within Meursaults borders. Initially rather closed nose. Black fruit (blackberry and blackcurrants), forest floor and a soft floral note. Darker than your usual PN. Dry, med+ acidity, med body, med+ flav intensity and soft, ripe tannins. The black flavours certainly return in the mouth with some tobacco and plum. Very silky and soft on the palate but the acidity is on the higher side, even slightly sharp. Really long, smoky finish. After an hour or 2 the nose becomes more pronounced and sweeter, more ripe red fruit and more spiced (white pepper) and smoky. The wine becomes richer on the palate, with less pronounced acidity but more balance in the mouth. It has its price but this is an impressive showing, clearly Les Santenots du Milieu is one of the better PC's in Volnay. Can age for at least a decade more. Give it air when opening.
