Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 22, 2015 - Drinking a Lafarge Volnay can be a privilege in great vintages. His combination of muscular style and refined edges makes for a wonderful,warm approach to the terroir. However, 2008 is not an exemplar. A ubiquitous restaurant vintage in France and elsewhere, the 2008's provide balance, early drinking, some fruit, and some terroir- and boredom. They lack the fine chiseling of the 2010s, the fleshy fruit of the 2009s or even the sometimes early drinking fruit/ acid tension of the 2011s. This wine had an initially nice raspberry cherry and smoke nose and an elegant medium bodied, Crimson palate. Somewhat acid- driven and restrained even after a carafe( not decanter). Will improve a bit but probably not a great deal. Worth holding one.
