  • Also young and structured, also still inviting. Vibrant fruit, violets and smoke, very long. A-

  • Out of mag. Pretty dark berry fruit. Nice purity, particularly on the nose. Still has the 99 Burg austerity and is a bit rough on the palate. Particularly for a D'Ang Ducs. Maybe one day it will come around. Maybe..

  • 1st of 6 plus 3 magna, opened an hour then decanted 45 minutes, perfect cork and level - Angerville wines take ages to show, but at 23 years I was hopeful, particularly given the fine vintage.....so what a disappointment! dark, translucent ruby with little development; cranberry, plum, touch of earth and sous bois, acid edge; medium, quite long and persistent but no real concentration, acidity gives unbalanced and angular sense, pure certainly, but not very interesting and not enough obvious heft to give assurance of better times ahead, all of which is odd given wine and vintage, hopefully this ok bottle is an outlier, certainly there is no rush to drink, so maybe time will help. VG+ for now (16.5).

  • A private dinner (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Nutty and evolved nose, oxidative, toasted; firm and structured palate, medium weight, tertiary flavours, tired; very good length. Not a perfect bottle. Not rated.

  • A dark brick red color. Still quite youthful in appearance, but some subtle signs of age. On the nose, it started rather slowly, but blossomed into red fruit and spice on the nose. The palate was silky and while somewhat reserved at first it unfolded into an explosion of raspberry and redcurrant fruit on the mid palate with great balance and structure. This is in a terrific place but shows little signs of slowing down. Drink now or hold. This could last a few more decade easily. Impressive stuff.

Rockss and Fruit

    (Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru "Clos des Ducs") Nose was slightly reticent at first but soon opened up with incredibly pristine flavors of red fruits, cherries and minerals. Great depth to the nose. Nuanced and layered but minimalistically stripped down to its essential elements. Just deep fruit and mineral. Great nose. The detail was great. The palate kept getting better and better all night. Concentrated with enormous material and a wealth of the purest fruit you can imagine. Exquisite burst on the finish with wonderful barnyard/mineral/red fruit integration. Tannnins were ripe and sweet but wonderfully restraianed sweet. A great palate. Great wine and will easily go twenty more years. This was great. Did I mention this was great?

    (Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Clos des Ducs) Medium-plus ruby-red with a cherry-red rim. The nose starts broad and brawny, slipping for a moment into bright red berries before settling into a medium intensity mix of sweet coffee inflected red cherry, some higher tones continue to evolve. Almost painful intensity of high-toned fruit - very, very impressive! Good acidity and very good tannins though not so svelte as those in de Montilles' Les Mitans. Great length - a King in waiting - I think the next test shouldn't be before 2012.

    (Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Clos des Ducs) The colour is just a little darker than the 1998. The nose has a little more pronounced blueberry fruit together with the red cherry and a little flowery at the top, smells quite sweet too. Wow ! - What a fruit concentration, this wine is just so fat with a mixture of red and black fruit - really intense. The acidity is good and the tannin smoother than the 1998, but the finish is much, much longer. This wine rates as outstanding !
