Another nice bottle. Cherry cassis, earthy tones and a little spice, all very attractive. Palate mid weight, more earthy red fruit, still a lot of structure - light tannins, great balance on the finish. Another 2005 ready, in good shape and very tasty.

A bit underwhelming for 2005... honestly I am often underwhelmed by 2005. Just too much acidity.. will the fruit even last to balance out with it? Not sure.
My above thoughts aside, I did enjoy it. Red fruits, some forest floor, nice detail. But not as balanced as I would have liked. Did not impress until 45 mins in.

I found this very satisfying. Still loads of fruit, good balance, open and enjoyable.

Enjoyed it. Better after a little time in the glass.

Amazing Volnay which still provides a good experience. The nose still has red berries. It is light and dry in the mouth.
