Tasting notes
Magnum. Transparent ruby. Lots of evolution on the nose. Very sweet and charming and evolved. More of a massage than a wine. Lovely balance! Good length – nothing out of place. Pretty violets perfume. Long. (JR)

The dark ruby-colored 1997 Volnay Clos des Ducs displays super aromas of soy sauce, hoisin, and spices. This powerful, yet elegant, wine is jam-packed with sweet black fruits, flowers, stones, and herbs. A powerful, complex, and complete wine, it should be drunk over the next dozen years. Importer: Seagram Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel; (212) 572-7725.
