50th. Excellent if a bit boring. Lacked energy and fell a bit flat. Nice but 22 Buffet Chenes blew it away.

Still some dark fruit and secondary notes. Blackberry, Gauloises, leather and acid. Much left to give and delicious.

Needed a good 90 minutes to start opening. Red fruit and floral, mild spice. Lovely wine.

Big and rich. Deeper than many Volnay wines. Still closed but great depth and richness. Lovely balance.
