Mini-ESTG Chicken Dinner (Seattle, WA, USA): Mmmm, there is a lot here, fruit leaning to more full and dark, very mouthfilling, dusty, sneaky yet fine tannins. A nice herbal backdrop, actually a lot of structure on this, really rather masculine, but I guess it is Volnay after all.
Very pure fruited and transformed in the glass. On open it was crunchy strawberry and red raspberry, with air it picked up violets, black cherry and black raspberry. Extremely primary, vivid fruit. Very clean and pure. Reminds me of what Oregon pinot could be, if it was made in Burgundy (this vivid fruit also has spice, slightly more concentration and ?layers? you don’t find in Oregon). There is value in Beaune.
