Tasting notes
FINE+RARE, May 2016
From a great Volnay vintage. Aromas of forest floor, black currant and soy. The palate shows lovely energy with super-acidity and a fleshy fruit in the mid-palate. Fine-grained tannins are fused with layers of black tea, plum, rosemary, black cherries and mossy, spicy earth. Exquisite length and vibrancy. Drink now or hold 2-4 years.
