  Iron. Gritty tannins. Med-high acid.
  Red fruited but very dry. You need to look hard to find the sweetness here, but airtime lets it out. Savory-stemmy; more ripe tomato than ripe fruit (not in a bad way).
  Lots of stuffing here for positive development.
  More like Sangiovese than Pinot, this would pair well with a seared steak.

  Bu sur 2 soirs, il est exceptionnel du début à la fin. Ça sent la cave bourguignonne: mousse, terre, un peu d’humidité. En bouche il y a une déclinaison d’arômes, soit un peu de primaire sur le cassis mais surtout du tertiaire en accord avec le nez. Une belle longueur, pour moi ce Volnay est au sommet de sa gloire: superbe!

  Exploring Meursault with Cedric at Eleven Madison Park (Eleven Madison Park Sol LeWitt Room): Really pretty fruit. Bright red berries. Big body.

  Beautiful. On the ripe side but so lively. Still primary in many ways. Sexy.

  Very nice and a reinforcing bottle after I fell for the 2011 Pousse 60 Ouvrees. This bottle was more rich and dense, saturated. While both are transparent, this one shows a nice contrast between 2011 and 2012. Dense, dark red cherry fruit, pretty dark loamy soil. It has energy and lift. Quite nice really.
