Medium garnet colour all the way to the rim. This has a true Volnay nose, high alcoholic tones and lovely red fruit with only the merest hint of oak left. Nice mouth feel with very good lingering acidity and still prominent, though not rough, tannins which are well buffered by the raspberry and red cherry fruit. Good length on this wine too, still needs at least 2 years though.
A waft of oak is followed by smoke, then in succession, violets, strawberry and redcurrant confiture, ending with caramel and faint vanilla, so many layers – excellent. The palate has excellent density of primarily red fruits, lovely acidity but a very astringent finish. This improves with a minimum 2 hours in a decanter. Too young, but super potential.
