Getting a little long in the tooth, but still very drinkable if you like the tertiary stuff. Still some fruit hanging on. Liked the palate more than the nose. Time to drink up.

Cool, floral, plush, poised, beautiful village Volnay (albeit for a premier cru price…)

Lovely evening at Bourbon Steak. Great meal, fantastic service. Wine was lovely. Sadly it was their last bottle.

We brought this back from Burgundy with us and had it with roasted chicken. It had so much promise, but showed a little hot.
