much better on the 2nd day; 2011 red burg continues to confuse the establishment - there are quite a few good wines. it’s not profound but it’s complex enough.

Initially muted aromas, gained traction with time in glass. Assembled from 2nd and 3rd tier Volnay parcels. Great comparison in this tasting. More steely - our blind guess was Pommard Village level.

Somewhat muted, slightly opened up during the dinner. Went very well with goose liver.

Lovely Pinot Noir, well-made and smooth. Subdued but clean cherry start, and smooth tannins in the finish.

Overall very disappointing. Took nearly a day to open up. But just doesn’t express volnay. Nose is quite reticent but what is there is brooding drkfruit, black cherry, woody notes, a bit of menthol. Palate adds aging notes of cranberry, dried leaves and iron. Finishes with drying tannins that were dusty enough that our first thought was”flawed wine” but gradually loosened a bit of their grip after a day. No sign of any floral notes, red fruits or atmospheric aromatics. Overall quite muscular in almost a GC village kind of way that was pretty good but not what one would expect. Drank next to a Jadot clos de chenes and wasn’t close to a fair fight.
