Community Tasting Note

  May 29, 2019 - Ruby, not much development. Game, black cherry, and pine. Bigger than the prototypical Volnay with resiny, slightly astringent wood tannins, but there are tremendous depth and freshness of the red fruit supplemented by a boatload of crushed spices as well. Certainly an excellent mouthful, relatively open compared to many 2005's, and very enjoyable now, but my hope would be that in another 10 years, it will have shed some of its oak to gain elegance and capture more of its inner Volnay. I have no regrets about trying one at this point but would advise patience unless you are looking for a more exuberant Pinot experience. There is little minerality now, and you won't mistake this for Angerville or Lafarge.
