  Perfumed roses and red summer berries. A touch of metallic zinc and zippy finish. Supple and mouth puckering and grippy.

  Kel's Birthday - Wine and Poker Night (Kat and Yuwen's): Pleasant, but not great. The nose reflected a wine that was rather thinning out, with dark cherries and a little floral hint lined with little metallic, slighty bloody scents and a twist of earthy mineral. Indeed, the palate, while showing a nice sense of clarity, was a bit thin on the ground showing a layer dark cherries over a minerally spine. There was a twist of something a little bittersweet hanging about in there. Fine tannins and a nice juicy freshness then gave the wine a little bite past the midpalate, before it drifted away with a hint of dried flowers and some spicy notes along with more of those blood and iron tones picked up on the nose. Decent enough, but not the most charming of Volnays. Time to drink up too.
