  Absolutely top notch burgundy in peak drinking window. Very on brand for Volnay with a feminine style and velvety structure backed by tart red fruit and waves floral-slash-tobacco-y complexity. Clean and precise, not rustic. Love this wine.

  First 2005 that I have noticed ullage. In addition, I can see through the wine which tells me she's ready.
  
  I've had very few 2005s but this wine is in a great place. There are not any noticeable tannins or structure. A beautiful, ripe Volnay Santenots that is always enjoyable. Santenots is not the most elegant Volnay, but it makes up for it with longevity. I've enjoyed many from 1978 and 1993 that are magnificent and holding beautifully.
  
  Great nose, dark color, yet completely resolved. Very enjoyable. This wine will easily hold for another decade.
  
  If you have not enjoyed Volnay Santenots, please do. Prices for this wine are extremely favorable in every vintage!!!
