Les Robardelles Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Acid really pops on opening but becomes more integrated. Just ripe cherry and raspberry, black tea, slight new oak notes. Good length, still youthful

Cooked fruit, ripe flower, herbal soup, black pepper

Vibrant ruby red in the glass. Black cherry tea and classic Pinot must on the nose, echoed on the palate with insanely smooth tannins and raging moderate acidity. Medium long finish. This stuff doesn't fight back, and it's less than four years on! Another triumph by Ray Walker!

Ham, red fruit, mushroom and tea.

The elusive Maison Ilan 😋🤣 '12 is better than the '11, and this really is a pretty decent bottle of Burgundy.

#burgundythursday Not a bad bottle. Good Burgundy barnyard with cherries 👍

Pretty solid considering all of the drama. A bit tart on the finish and hollow in mid palate. Liked the lower alcohol mouthfeel though. Glad I didn't have to Louie it down the drain.

Waited forever to get, disappointed. Feels like overcompensating for wanting to be "Burgundian" but just ends up being thin and lacking complexity. Rough for the price.

A good wine from Ray Walker. Haters still gonna hate.

Didn't care for this. Modern in style, no mid palate. No finish.
