This is drinking so well. Nose of cassis, redcurrant, classic Margaux flowers, green peppercorn (Carmenere), crazy florals, just a masterful nose. Leather and glorious spice. Palate is wide and sleek, elegant and decadent than sharply concentrated and sweet. The tannins are sweet and aggressive but the fruit is extraordinary and in a few hours I see this being even more supple. Fantastic. — 4 days ago

Blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon (young vines), 43% Merlot (older vines) and 11% Cabernet Franc, aged in 30% new French oak, deep Ruby red color, purple edges, with aromas of ripe dark fruits, spice and herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum, spice and cinnamon. Fine tannins, slightly chewy, long finish ending with fruit, spice and a touch of earthy mineral notes. — 25 days ago

At Pressoir NYC burgh tasting - this 2009 from the magnum was best of the Volnays and best of the tasting overall - deep brooding structured fruit, stellar - and notably better than the 2008 — 24 days ago

A gift from our friend Steve L. a few years ago, which we drank on the occasion of our 19th anniversary. Nice “jammy” blackberry fruit flavor; dry and medium to full bodied. A 2018 vintage that we enjoyed during 2025. I would expect the wine is one that ages well. — a month ago

Dark rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, cedar-wood, exotic spices. Very very merlot, ripe but not over, its a high octane wine that shows a bit of its 15 degrees on the finish. Not our favorite vintage but the wine is super well done and might benefit from a few more years on bottle. — 2 months ago
