Mature and showing a complex bouquet, dark and autumnal, pure and mineral across the palate, refined, the toasted oak combining with the bold tannins and good length. Because of the toasty oak and tannins I'll pair the next bottle with grilled red meat. 91+

from the one yesterday - a clear improvement. Still a lot of mature red fruit and some pepper - but opposite yesterday the balance in the wine was much better - still medium on acidity and tannins

The Wines of Comte Armand and Benjamin Leroux (Beltramo's, Menlo Park): Medium ruby. Wood and pine notes to start. This is a step up in weight and texture from the village Volnay. Black fruit is supplemented by some redder elements as it opens, and it has very nice inner mouth aromatics and flavor expansion. Although the finish seemed a bit out of focus at first, this became more precise in the glass.

From cask: Quite deep blood/cherry. Sweet floral and oaky nose. Full sweet and spicy mouth entry. Very firm though. 3-
