Volnay and Pommard Blind Tasting (My Home): Well so much for the hail in '01. This is simply superb and textbook Volnay. Floral, red fruits, balanced and elegant and showed great depth and weight.

Very nice. Racy and energetic upon opening; the acidity pops in your mouth and lingers long on the finish, though I guess one could argue that it is bit too tart. Definitely inhabiting the dark frui end of the spectrum, but it's main virtues centers around its minerality and light, lean texture that doesn't bully itself around the palate. It isn't a dilute wine by any means, but definitely the least pronounced and forward of the burgs I have tasted. Much rounder the next day and really pulled itself together as a very elegant quaff.

Surprising amount of sous-bois type notes. Some red fruit and light sap. Hard, slightly bitter tannins. Medium body. OK, but ready to go.
