Joyce Farms vs. Green Circle (Chicago, IL): In the end, I think we concluded that this was corked. But for some strange reason, the TCA only really showed up periodically on the nose, and it wasn't immediately apparent on the palate either until after a relatively long time. More's the shame -- it was pretty clear that this was a very concentrated, complex Volnay, riper in fruit profile than the Lafarge and Lafon alongside.

Perhaps a bit darker and more brooding than is typical for Volnay, but a really nice, earthy bottle nonetheless. This would have definitely opened up some more had we not drunk it so fast.

Elegance des Volnay BYO Dinner (Domaine de la Pousse d'Or - Volnay): Far too earthy and dried out. Unlikely this is a correct bottle, given the performance tonight of the two other bottles of Other Pousse d'Or cuvées.
