Grippy red fruits with substantial very fine tannins, good minerality and a nice finish. Drinking well now with a brief decant, probably slightly better in a year or two.

Ruby core with a much lighter rim. Very strong color extraction for a pinot. Highly aromatic with notes of herbs, lavender, rosehip, asphalt, cherry cola, and pomegranate. Flavors of lavender carry through to the palate with medium tannins (although quite tannic for a pinot), medium-high acidity, medium alcohol, and a delicate but long finish. Really solid wine and a textbook example of a highly tannic structured Burgundy.

Lovely example of Volnay; floral, elegant, red berry fruits, hints of spice. The palate has great depth and is full of lovely flavors/complexity. Overall this is very good, clearly has upside with cellaring, and is a great price in the current Burgundy market.
