Richer and fresher than previous bottles, this was a beautiful mature Volnay, slightly on the burly side but very enjoyable. Our best bottle yet, by some distance.

On the evidence of these two bottles bought at auction recently, this wine is past its prime but still more than drinkable if you like old wine. One had a slightly oxidised nose but a decent red fruit profile, the other was very mushroomy on the nose but had more weight of fruit.

Lifted strawberry aromatics and pleasing sweetness. More rustic and heavy with air.
