Drank on the terrace of our hotel room in Dubai after purchasing it from the Clos shop in the airport terminal on arrival from Riyadh. We hadn’t had a drop of wine in 7 weeks so there was a real sense of anticipation…. Which this 6 yo Volnay 1er cru had possibly no chance of covering. And it didn’t Quality wine with pronounced cherry nose, but the red fruit coats the palate too much for my taste. Hold 5 years longer at least. 91 for now. Upside certainly on the horizon

Hmmm...a slightly earthy, polished nose of cherry follows through to a dry palate of cherry accented with a peppery herbal note which tapers off cleanly. It’s a bit sturdy.
The wine is very nice, but theres a question of value. It’s better on the nose than the palate.

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY): Walk around tasting vertical. Nicely floral start with precocious red fruits throughout with good length. Very classically Volnay. Now entering its peak drinking window.

Mere rustikk nese. Rødbær, krydder, sopp, pepper. Kraftigere tanniner. Lekker vin. Intens. Skikkelig lang. 92-93
