- Deep ruby with purple highlights. An explosive nose of spice and black fruit aromas leads to rich, full, almost robust flavors of considerable power and outstanidng depth of extract with abundant minerality and superb length. Both the nose and tannins are quite ripe and it's clear that the additional hang time was beneficial as this is really most impressively well-balanced. A terrific effort and one of the top wines of the vintage in Volnay. This will require at least until 2008 to be drinking well but it should last a good deal longer.
