(de Montille Volnay Les Mitans) Medium-plus cherry-red colour - looks very young. The nose, save for a few higher tones, is a dead ringer for the Potel Mitans. This was a wine that was a little disjointed and very soft to start with, but really tightened-up and came good after 30 minutes. The palate is much more understated, great texture - the tannins are much finer - the mid-palate is quite soft (reminds me of Geantet-Pansiot), there is good intensity and a very sneaky length. Much more understated than the Potel rendition, each have there place, but typically I would plump for the chunkier Potel - but then I like Pommard!

From corovin - nose was a little closed still, perhaps would have benefited from a decant, but the palate was lovely, with fresh red and blue fruits, silky texture and a freshness and slightly hedgerow/mint element that makes me think perhaps some whole bunch used? Young for its age, but ready to go, this was classic Volnay and very pretty. Would have scored higher if the nose had been singing, but likely that’s more my fault in the lack of decanting rather than the wine.

Dinner at Richard's: 6/12, vg cork. Sligghtly closed and then inscrutable on the nose at first, some ripe dark fruit but also soil, coffee, a touch stern. Slowly setting to reveal some more aromatic, floral top-notes. Delicious on the palate from the off however, elegant, with red and black-toned fruits, held together by a vein of firm but fine tannins, certainly an intellectual wine but at the same time hugely enjoyable, with lovely lift and freshness on the extended finish. Excellent, and still very youthful.

Acker 2020/02: Magnum. Somewhat thin and watery, but reflects the vintage well. 89

Wines for the Acker Merrall Bicentennial Auction (The Pool - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Magnum from Domaine. Wonderful elegant and textures with so many nooks and crannies. Delicious now and good weight.

No formal note. This quite expressive on the nose with spice, a touch of mineral, soil. Some underlying red fruit. Medium bodied, red fruit, dusty earth, fine tannins, fresh acidity.
