  No sign of seepage
  
  Astonishing youthfulness in colour, aroma and flavour
  
  N:Cherry, bit of VA, very discreet oak. Promising.
  
  P: significant acidity, but fruit is sweet if somewhat unbalanced by the acidity. Tannins are slightly rustic. Overall, this is good, but far from great, not withstanding the vintage. I have found the 5 or so 1998 Volnays I’ve tasted at about 20 years old to be generally lacking charm. This is no exception despite how youthful it is. I hardly see an upside to a hard, slightly tannic 1998 volnay, especially at current market prices.
  
  Drink or hold to 2029 based on this single bottle. No upside anticipated, based on 2 tasters.
