  Opened 1 hr before drinking and it was light and already drinking well but give it 3 hours or so in the bottle and it became delightful with more typical Volnay flavors coming through. Drink soon over the next few years!

  For a few minutes after it was decanted, this was explosive and exuberant, with flavor persistence that didn’t distinguish between the taste and finish; if anything, it was even more flavorful after you swallowed it. Then it streamlined itself into benchmark Volnay in high-definition digital precision with an aroma packed with stones and crushed gravel, a rock quarry of a wine, and a texture so silky that someone remarked you could practically smell the silk. What was most remarkable about the wine was how age honed its focus without any sacrifice in freshness, a testament to how well this bottle must have been stored.
