  August 10, 2023 - Good tasting note behind me. Suggest decanting 2hrs in advance at least for better enjoyment.

  June 9, 2023 - Deep red, purple and darker fruit ensemble. Shows a complex nose of mixed spices, earth, and a touch of heat. It’s more obviously marked by the vintage on the palate, bigger bodied with bass notes you wouldn’t expect from Volnay. But that doesn’t mean it’s not delicious, in fact I preferred this version than the lighter, acid driven 2017 in its youth. The fruit here has big bold flavors with complex spices and suggestions of earth. Even the elevated alcohol (which can be sensed) provides some tension, mingling with the moderate tannic structure and medium low acidity nicely, giving good resonance and sustain on the finish. While it’s not the classic Volnay you might look for, and it’s probably even a bit larger than a modern classic, yet it’s a wine that works and gives quite a lot if you’re ever in the mood for such a wine.
