Tasting notes
The dark-colored 1999 Volnay Mitans has jammy plum and blackberry aromas. It is a masculine, muscular, medium-bodied wine with a focused, fruit-packed personality. It coats the palate with loads of jammy black fruits and candied cherries. Its finish reveals copious quantities of impeccably ripe tannin. Drink it over the next 10 years.

Deep ruby-red. Smoky oak, cherry, bitter chocolate and pungent mineral notes on the expressive nose. Suave, supple and rather gently styled, with lovely fruit firmed by ripe acidity. Finishes with rather soft tannins and very good length. This should be balanced to offer early pleasure.
