Not better 3 months later - simply too expensive for what it offers. Haisma is usually great. This looks to me like a one off mistake. Comes across a little green and rough and this after almost 4 years in the bottle. Lacks the velvet glove I expect from a Volnay. Fruit ill defined more black than red but non descriptive. Band aid mostly - some baking spices, touch cola and that for - $90 not worth it! May be keeping it under Argon for a week will do the trick….? Yes after a week it did get better - but that man - I am sorry to say is not reasonable.
