Brilliant nose. Gorgeous mid season cherries with amazing clarity. Ethereal and also some cherry flower. Just the essence of cherries. Remarkable 21 aromatics here. Man, I adore this vintage. Lush and structured palate with tangy mid season cherries, a micro hit of opulence and some velvety, sweet yet substantial tannins. This has structure to burn and will need air but man is this a sexy, juicy Volnay. As this airs the nose gets malted milk balls. Unreal depth. Sickness. As this airs out it gets more focused and the fruit becomes extraordinary. 9.5 to 9.6.
