"Coravined" this. I will try more weeks/months down the road to see how well it works.

Nose: chocolate covered cherry, red berries, mushroom, a little raspberry, cranberry, just a touch of menthol, touch of earth, does celery salt sound completely strange?

Palate: meaty, nice structure, still good acidity, chocolate, velvety, balanced tannins but they are there nicely, that cranberry from the nose is there on the palate. What a great Thanksgiving wine this would be.

Not so tight on day 2 regardless of its youth. Great representation of Volnay!
