Freshness and salinity on the nose. Limited fruit aromas at first.
Fairly light body. Plenty of acid present, but not overwhelming. Largely integrated, yet fine tannins still very much present. Some residual heat on finish.
Not a ton of complexity at cellar temp, PnP. Darker, but not ripe, fruits on palate

Opaque, almost black. Lots of body as evidenced by thick, clingy legs. Nose has sense of blueberry pie with underlying garrigue, maybe some cassis (fruit and liqueur) as well. Mouthfeel is lighter than expected with higher acid as well. Pepper, dark fruits. Fine tannins, but very present. Tight on opening but definitely opens with air. Very balanced overall, but an air of wildness. Day two and far more integrated. Delicious.

2019 Mark Haisma Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets

Medium-light body. Fresh, slight green on nose with dark fruits present. A little of baking spices coming through?
On palate, some warmth with fresh, just ripening dark fruit, spice (almost a bit of pepper). Fine tannins, but not overwhelming. Acidity in balance.
Finish is nice, if not overly long, with ongoing warm dark fruits coming through.
