  Opened about 2 hours before consumption. The first glass was a little thin but pleasant. The second and third glssses were much more settled and attractive, giving a good mix of developed fruit and earth. Generally easy on the palate, showing good refinement.

  Simply phenomenal wine. The secret to Taillepieds is to understand how slow=developing the wines are -- but when they come around from the right the producers, they can be very great. My previous bottle was nine years ago, and the wine was still not at its best. Tonight, an ethereal, haunting nose of sous-bois and red fruits, red fruits in the mouth, silkiness, and a medium-weight body, great length, harmony, balance. Will still last for quite a long time. I'm so delighted to still have a very good store of this wine. Cellared since original release.

  11th of 12, opened 80 minutes, perfect level, fully travelled cork, previous bottles F or better, last in 2013 VF - lightening dark ruby; damson, black cherry, hint of earth and spice, not as pure as previous bottles, flavours slightly muddy; medium bodied, decent length and complexity, not particularly concentrated, quite silky, fruit seemingly in decline but last glass no worse than first, probably no upside from here and way off last bottle. F (17.5).

  So young. Terrific red cherry, florals and emerging earth nose. Palate is rich and dense. Balanced and evolving in harmony as the structure is also still firm.

  HDH auction at Spiaggia; 9/19/2019-9/21/2019 (Chicago, IL): Dirty, earthy, backwards. A beautiful perfume comes out of the glass, and then there's a crap ton of red fruit. This is really the classic style of red Burgundy -- so delicate but also so backwards in the best kind of way. Love these old Volnays.
