"Tasted at an event in Volnay. Mostly bricked through. A wonderfully, even exuberantly, spicy nose reflects hints of leather and sandalwood that add appeal to the full-on sous-bois suffused nose. The elegant and impressively refined middle weight flavors possess both fine depth and energy while exuding evident minerality on the balanced and admirably long finish where the only nit is a hint of acid tang. Even so, this is a beautiful effort that continues to drink well . . ."
