Tasting notes
Healthy crimson. Broad ripe flavours of only medium intensity. Big, brash thoroughly ripe fruit on the palate with well-hidden tannins and good balance of acidity, but overall impact is still decidedly unformed. (JR)

The outstanding 1999 Volnay Taillepieds has zesty, dark fruit aromas. It is medium to full-bodied, ample, broad, and packed with copious amounts of jammy and juicy plums, black currants, Asian spices, and black cherries. This is a powerful yet refined, seamless wine with prodigiously ripened tannin. Its finish is long, silky, and pure. Drink it over the next 10 years.
