Santenots Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

has brett- balanced, a little bit is not a fault. black cherry, firm tannins.

Structured with oak

This is really showing well.

Brilliant wine. Bright. Juicy. Great red fruits, earthy and subtle spices. Long. Good fresh acid. Good food wine

In a really good spot. Crushed berry, damp earth, floral. Very pretty wine.

Beauty. Preserved strawberry over a bed of mulch. Cologne & rosewater followed by chanterelles and motor oil. Nice bit of tannin. Winner of the night fo sho.

Giants winning the World Series may be affecting this post, but this bottle is really singing. Definitely needs more time to mellow, but couldn't resist after Bumgarner closed the door on KC.

Disjointed

Paulee. The style here is now less burly than it used to be. I like the newer lighter style.
