Pitures Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Solid. Bright red fruits. Good tannin structure and mouthfeel.

Great way to study Burgundy #learnbytasting #getsomm #nospitting #pinverasion

Rich, deep, a little meaty, very earthy, all in a good way.

Kept getting better throughout the night. Found this at a remote ranch in eastern Oregon. $60. Big, spicy, red fruit...it's good

Translucent reddish purple with amber rim. Initially there are some reductive notes on the nose which blow off with air revealing lovely aromas of damp earth, red currants, cranberries, vanilla, and cloves. Light and elegant in style on the palate with bright red berry fruit and tart, mineral finish. This is a very pretty Burgundy by Nicolas Potel from a Premier Cru vineyard in Volnay.

Just opened. Needs air. Still apparent reduction, but starting to blow off.. A damn fine example of good Volnay. Very drinkable.

2009 Volnay Pitures. Melted Turkish delight drizzled over violets and red roses. Sexy, musky and long finish. Delish.

Powerful red currant. Nice ripe, sweet fruit. Elegant and finely balanced. I'm sure this will improve, but it is rocking now. A perfect match with fresh foraged spring morels, hangar steak and duck fat roast potatoes.
