Saturday, October 20, 2018 - PnP and slow ox for 45 minutes prior to diner in Burg glasses and btl. Served between 58-62 degrees. Semi translucent red color with ambering edges. Slightly closed on palate for first 15 minutes or so but rapidly fleshed out. Aroma's of berries, spice and abundant forest floor. Palate shows a range of; dark raspberry, dark cherry, spice, mineral and lots of underbrush along with mushroom. At fully 16 years out this is at peak or very close but should roll along nicely for another 5 years+. Balanced, harmonious and classic Volnay with a silky mouthfeel. Perfect weight! Alc 13.5% Dam, I wish I had a couple more of these! Maybe the all round best D'Angerville yet and I have several of the single vineyards 1ers Crus from 02, 05,06,07 & 08. Stopped buying as priced jumped a bunch for the '09s forward. This cuvee 1er Cru ( unnamed 1er Cru) might be a lone qpr point for this highly chased producer?
