What a great surprise. We had two bottles at lunch. One was fabulous, a very special wine. The other was fine. Cranberry, still tannic with good structure, hints of fruit left.

Volnay Dinner with Lieu-dit Cru (Kevin Restaurant, Chicago IL): Very good color for its age. Quite a contrast to many of the evening’s younger Volnays. It had a wonderful complex nose, showing layers of fruit, mushroom and earth. The fruit seemed a bit faded after 30 minutes but the secondary character of this wine remained buoyant for an extended period. In many ways this was a thrilling finale to the evening’s wines because it hinted how these wonderful wines will develop as they improve and mature.

Full red color with lightening at the edges. Lovely old burg aroma. Nice rich red fruit, but really acidic too. 3/06
