  This is very Volnay like with restrained fruit buttressed by compelling mineral & spice notes. Enticing aromas. My last of 2 and a notch up from the 1st btl 4yrs ago. In the window but no rush. Gave it a 3hr slow--ox in Brug glasses & btl. A modeat 12.5% alc.

  Really aromatic upon first pour, concentrated boysenberry fruit with a red cherry undertone. A bit darker than other vintages but well restrained in typical Lafarge fashion. This was quite open and soft for the first couple hours but clamped down towards the end of the night. Drinking well already but plenty of upside ahead.

  Drinking well. Not very complex, nor did I expect it to be, but interesting with good balance. Bought for near term waiting for better bottles to mature. Fit the bill perfectly.

  A really excellent BR. This has relaxed enough to be really enjoyable now. Combination of producer and vintage produce a fresh red fruited wine with a juicy core. A little more weight and sphere here than usual. The nose is super fresh with a gorgeous raspberry profile today. The extra weight also adds a bit more textural interest than usual. Not too much of a stretch to call this one a baby Volnay. Top BR.
