  December 12, 2023 - Nice nose after a two hour decant, cherry, earth, well-integrated oak. Got more spicy with air, maybe allspice? Palate was a bit linear and primary, but with a lot of acid. Nice mineral line on the palate throughout the evening, but seemed to make a turn for the better after several hours.

  November 15, 2022 - On opening and after 45 min decant this showed strawberry, red cherry and vanilla, a pale ruby colour, very light bodied with a strong line of acidity that felt slightly out of balance and lacking in finesse. A bit tart and not sufficiently integrated. Day 2 and 3 showed improvement with more powerful cherry notes coming to the fore, sweet vanilla, layers of wood and hints of nutmeg.

  January 20, 2022 - Light body. Spice and syrupy fruit on the nose and palate. A bit tart, tight and acidic including into the finish. Lacking in complexity. I’ve had better semi regionals from Drouhin than this volnay village.

  January 8, 2022 - Pleasant red fruit flavors with medium + acidity. Elegant if somewhat straightforward.
