In a good place right now. Classic nose, some acidity initially but that disappeared with the food. Well structured and just got better and better. Exceeded my expectations by far since I don't remember the last bottle nearly as good.

well now, this was very good (at least relative to expectations)... med+ or full-minus body, but with acidity and lift to carry it, dark red fruit, not a lot of complexity (umami etc) but just well structured and good for food or on its own... gave it a 92 but could have given 93... feels like its just into the zone but has plenty of time left (15 years more??)

What a delightful Volnay! The flavour profile leans toward the high toned, red fruited, but doesn't lack depth and there's a real intensity & good length to the beautifully taught & impeccably balanced medium bodied palate. Immediately enjoyable on opening, but notably improved over 3 or 4 hours drinking time (not decanted). I think I pick up something of a 2011 vintage character; but it's handled very well. The pronounced acidity makes it a food wine for me, but it's so elegant and charming that I'd happily drink it by itself. I don't understand the 'rich & fat' descriptor used in a review below - a few point in that direction, but this wasn't what I was getting from the wine. (My first D'Angerville, a part from the Domaine du Pellican Jura's which, FWIW, I adore - & think I can pick up a 'house style' - must try more of their Burgundies & then will know if this is nonsense or not ;) 2026 end to the drinking window seems conservative

Marquis d'Angerville Tasting and Lunch (Restaurant Fitzgerald *, Rotterdam, NL): Compared to other vintages tasted today on the light and dry side, more herbaceous, quite grippy but not without charm, needs food.

Lovely, dark, ripe and elegant. Benefits from an hour of air. Delightfully open right now.
