Estimate
Fine purity, silkiness and harmony set the stage for aromas and flavors of flowers, cherry, toasty oak and spice. Features a minerally undercurrent, while the finish goes on for close to a minute.
...already extremely charming, bursting from the glass with a lavish bouquet of cassis, dried rose petals, coniferous forest floor and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, with an elegantly textural attack, a nicely concentrated core of fruit and lively acids, concluding with a precise, vibrant finish.
...splendid red cherry and wild strawberry scents, though maybe it does not quite deliver the same delineation. The palate is well balanced and fleshy, with supple red berry fruit, quite candied in style. Blood orange notes surface toward the vibrant finish. Very fine.
...lot of violet-fruit aromas with a poached-cherry and red-plum core and deep-set spice notes, as well as chalky elements. The theme continues to a chalky texture from the limestone bedrock with fine, compressed tannins and bright red cherries.
Quite sweetly fruited on the nose – raspberry and cherry liqueur. Finishes with fragrant clove and cinnamon spice. Smooth, rounded tannins. Very Volnay, and very enjoyable.
