  Leuchtendes Rubin. In der Nase mit Preiselbeeren, roter Kirsche, kräuterige Noten, Blutorangenzesten, Ingwer, Süssholz, darunter kühle Mineralik, ein Hauch Funk, das Holz kaum wahrnehmbar, sehr komplex und mit Luft sich ständig verändernd. Im Gaumen saftig, frisch, gut strukturiert, kompakte Frucht, keinerlei Schwerfälligkeit, nur 13% Alkohol und dennoch viel Druck und im Abgang eine vorzügliche Länge. Ein noch jugendlicher Wein, der mit 1-2h Dekanter deutlich zulegt. Jetzt bis 2035 geniessen.

  I have written many notes on this wine. Boillot,s style of wine making takes some getting use to. There is extraction to their wines but they take at least 8 to 10 years to balance out and show a beautiful balance.
  I keep opening this wine because I just am enjoying it,s journey . Give this bottle at least an hour or decant it before drinking and you will see the potential with more aging. Even better the second day.

  Drinking very well. Slight nose of menthol, dark red, good acidity, an elegant sweetness with great dark fruit flavours primarily dark cherry. Great fruit extraction typical more of a GC in style. Tannins are evident but subtle and are noticeable on the back of the palate. Wonderful wine and a pleasure to drink. In 2021 I was questioning how this would age....Well!

  Opened tasted then vacuumed and left for a day. Initial tasting was overpowered with oak. The second day this was better balanced with good dark fruit notes , sweetness and moderate tannins. This also shows good length, good acidity and no notable nose. A very enjoyable Volnay that needs some decanting if drank early and will age well.
