Almost seems more like Pommard than Volnay. Firm, linear, plenty of acid--surprising given the reputation of the vintage. Not an elegant wine but ample minerality and balanced texture.

Unusually deep color for a Volnay. Red berries and a stroke of suede on the nose. Deep, mature red berries in the mouth.The typical pinot fruit with flavours of strawberries/resberries lingers underneath.

My first experience with this bottle. Very little fruit, some earth on the nose, little else. Very tight in the mouth, pinched off almost. I'm waivering between saying closed and simply not a good bottle of wine. Even as a frequent burgundy fan, bottles like this show why people steer clear. Overall thin, little flavor profile, weak wine; more so when I recall the price.
