Shy nose but a powerful beam of dark blackberry and black tea. Smooth as silk with a long finish of fine tannins and light wood. Punching far above its weight and really needed the 6 years since my last note.

The 2016 Volnay Santenots 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet with raspberry and red cherries. Quite floral in style, it just blossoms with aeration, gaining real intensity. The palate is fleshy and ripe with a fine bead of acidity, superb poise with an edgy, mineral-driven finish that lingers in the mouth. Recommended. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2018)
