Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2023, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, May 2011

Firm yet well-balanced tannins support a core of expressive dark fruit as the 2008 Volnay Les Mitans opens up in the glass. The Mitans impresses for its generous personality, fabulous length and exceptional overall balance. It is a dazzling wine. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.

Moderately saturated medium red. Cherry, spices, mint and menthol on the nose. Silky on entry, the pure and precise in the middle, with excellent cut to the red fruit and mineral flavors. A lovely Volnay that offers enticing fruit and excellent inner-mouth energy. Finishes long and clean, with suave tannins. An excellent showing.

Bright crimson. Very rich and velvety and hedonistic on the nose. Great balance but lots tucked in there for the future. (JR)

Score 89-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2010

Good full red. Ripe, fruit-driven aromas of black cherry and violet. Sweet and creamy but at the same time juicy and firmly built. There's an enticing chocolatey ripeness to the lingering finish of this structured wine.
