  Dense and aromatic, dark and red fruit, oak spices, tannins better than I remember them from this producer in older vintages. Very young still but this could add a point once mature. Best after 2026.

  The reference wine was important in that it showed the crowd how an uncomplicated PN from Burgundy behaves. The Punt Road also contributed by being fruit forward and slightly warmer than the rest. New world in a nice way.
  
  This Volnay did not behave as a Volley which has been noted before. In fact had more of the earthy and darker fruited character of Pommard. Lovely wine. My WOTN. Depth is there, yet silky, reasonably long. I associated it with the profile of a Vougeot. Decanted 1 h before.

  1/4/2019 - kosinski Likes this wine:

  Aroma: restrained aromas of leather wood smoke and plums. Perhaps a floral note.
  Palate: rich and complex with nicely balanced cherry, plum and savory meat flavors. A rather creamy texture. Hints of minerals on the finish. Nicely integrated tannin and acidity. Very good.
