Pure Volnay, super sexy aromas, I love all of Burgundy, but Volnay is the place I always come back to and swoon. Thanks @Maria Sinskey for sharing.

Great Great bottle, showing a lot of oak and a lot of concentration right now.

Great vintage by a great producer. Well-balanced with great finesse. Powerful and elegant at the same time. Vines are 30-60 years in heavy clay soil.

Think it was a bad bottle. Tons of fruit for the first 5 minutes then died into a silky/creamy hibernation.
