Dominate cork taint when opened. However, when settled for 30 min, it opened to be quite lively and showy

Big red fruit when first opened. Acid on finish. Then turned in to tart blue fruit after being in the glass awhile.

surprisingly backward and tannic from a cold cellar, it warmed and opened, becoming a nice Volnay, though not a great wine. Fun to drink, though.

Would have guessed it was ten yrs younger blind. Good concentration of red fruit.
