The nose is reasonably decent and full but it falls away for the taste and the finish, both of which leave me wanting more. Color is a touch more brown vs a Trapet villages 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin I’m simultaneously tasting (fwiw I like the Volnay better). This Volnay is quite tight and tanic even after being open about 4 hours, although it has definitely improved over this period. Modest fruit, high acidity, not much structure or complexity to it. I definitely opened this at least 2-3 years too early.

Bitter finish, clean, red fruit, still not over peak. But the flavor intensity weakened in a few hours.
