Saturday, May 13, 2023 - And another total winner with this bottle, unfortunately it might be my last. This is in the zone from my perspective (I like my Burgs a little bit on the younger side when there is still some fruit there and the tertiary aromatics are kicking in.
Super fresh, elegant, silky and layered. This is showing notes of sweet and sour red and dark berries, graphite, licorice, sweet spices, minty notes and also some notes of candied violets, there is also some fresh notes of white pepper. There are some sous-bois and notes of forest floor starting to develop. It‘s medium+ bodied, with excellent mid-palate persistence, has medium-high acidity and lower-medium tannin that has melted away since my last bottle. Excellent length. A suberb Volnay 1er Cru of the very highest level. It also shows the vintage‘s signature freshness and tension. I particularly love the silkiness you only get from aged Burgundies.

Others are also noting “tight, taut,..” characteristics of young burgundy, not truly aged burgundy. But nothing wrong with enjoying them young (even if some of us consider it infanticide).
