This was closed upon opening. It needed several hours of air to open up. This wine reflects the vineyard and the vintage. It was a cool wet year. The fruit here is somewhat pinched, but the wine has a lot of minerality. I would hold on opening these for a few more years.

A BUBBLY GUCCI Evening with ONE FINE RED (My house, Hamburg, good old Germany): Double decanted two bottles about 10 hours prior to this evening, an absolutely WOW showing, strong fragrance of rich dark fruit, on the palate the energetic pure elegance, this is a stunning PN, to testify that there is nothing from elsewhere to be compared or lets say superior to one of the finest Bourgogne, impressive showing, ending delicious and generates spechlessness at the round table, decanted like I did *****, just pnp still **(***), 95+ potential
A WOW top notch Pinot Noir! From the stunning 2012 vintage, my first try from this vineyard, a PN-dream! This purity of black fruit! Superb fragrance on the nose, on the midpalate high delicious viskosity, this high tensioned bottle made us four Riesling-addicts nearly going gaga over! This bottle is really one of the most impressing bottles ever tried from Volnay! Very young though but with the slow ox a stunning experience! ENJOY from now on or wait maybe 5+ more years up to a decade++! ***(*+ -?), 93- 95+ potential

This shows a pretty nose with good energy - blueberry, potpourri, mineral, a touch of clove. Lush but not fat. Should continue to develop well.
