  Had this a while back with a couple of other wines and remember this being good, but rather simple at the moment. Big ripe fruits. I would give it more time.

  Rates a 92 with a big upside. This wine drank well young. I decided to let it sleep, and live through an expected dumb phase. It appears that this strategy worked; or perhaps there was never a dumb phase. In any event, this wine really delivers now, and it's hard to imagine that it will get better. Well balanced wine, good fruit and acidity with resolved tannins. Long pleasant finish.

  Blackberry and plum, high acid, toasty oak, glossy. Maybe in an awkward phase?

  Lots of wood, glycerol and acidity...

  Opened an hour in advance. Deep ruby, perfect clarity. Beautiful aromatics of red fruit, pomegranate, ground coffee, and violet. Medium weight, substantial for Volnay but neither too heavy nor too ripe. Tart cherry, real bitter chocolate richness, earthy base, and a finish which is both quite saline and moderately tannic. Well above class for village Volnay. Very enjoyable now but this will age slowly and well.
