"Bright red-ruby. Musky, complex soil tones along with black cherry and mocha on the nose. Quite suave and silky on entry, conveying a relaxed quality (production here was 42 hectoliters per hectare) but no shortage of concentration. In fact, this is a wonderfully classy, supple wine with sexy sweetness and rocky energy (the mother rock is close to the surface here). Soil and spice notes add flavor interest. Consistent from start to finish, this quintessential, refined Volnay spreads out on the back end to saturate the mouth, with its tannins fully buffered by fruit." |

"Much more
discreet, if not invisible, wood sets off pure, cool and restrained aromas of
red currant, raspberry and soft floral wisps. There is really lovely vibrancy
to the detailed, sleek and refined medium weight flavors that brim with both
minerality and dry extract that serves to buffer the distinctly firm tannic
spine shaping the lingering and beautifully balanced finale. This too is really
quite good and worth considering." Burghound
