Dark brick red but has excellent clarity. Aromas of violets, moss, tar, maple bacon, cocoa powder and strong ethanol. Medium bodied but extremely high in tannin and acidity. Flavors of cran-grape juice, leather and all those other things on the nose. Finished extremely dry and feeing like you just licked a piece of wood. — 9 years ago

Nervy, full of sour cherry, cran-rasb fruit leather, with a strong backbone of acidity, and shores of dark minerality. Lithe. — 9 years ago

On the first day, it's very light and is like a Beaujolais nouveau that you'd actually drink. By the third day, it really bulks up. Wild strawberries with a cran-apple finish that lingers without overstaying its welcome. — 10 years ago

Brillant and transparent. No oak, as they say, and true to them. Quite closed, but great reticent red berries (cran&straw) cherries and light prunes. Great crushed minerals and dusty limestone tones. Serralunga and it shows it on the palate. Concentrated but elegant, quite big framework but transparent. 2013 still young. 90-92. — 10 years ago

Smells like a Reuben on Rye or Bologna or summer sausage. With a strong smell of old pepper. Not unpleasant though. There is also strawberry soda and dusty oak, and a hot, coated grill with toasted cocoanut. The palate is configured in a completely different way, with the steel of the grill replaced with a sweated copper and peppery plum, sugary cran and cast iron, with a black raisin back note. Really an interesting grape! I would love to see this thing done in different styles for comparison, but this is definitely a top offering. Long after the sip, the wine gives you a stripe of bold fruit tannin just across the front teeth that lingers like a grape-induced gap. — 11 years ago

Amazing red roses do carnation, raspberry juice, smoky peanut butter cookie, clear cranberry reduction, but light on its feet, and no plastic surgery disasters here. Loamy earth, with honeysuckle and dragonfruit aromas. Seamless entry, strawberry-raspberry-cran with light pepper, graphite and smoke, plummy finish that echoes the roses. — 9 years ago

Having had this one a few times (2012,14), this is one is really finding a nice balance with more time. Fruit is turning away from Pom/Cran toward soft cherry/rasp...medium body and length, this still has nice tannin structure. One bottle remains - Costco $22 — 10 years ago

Tad reductive to start, blossomed into cran/raspberry and stems with a little mulch and floral touch, cooked collards, fresh and grippy but a little short and bretty on the finish.. We fux with it. — 11 years ago

This one grew on me. Took a few hours, but really began to meld. Went from a fruity pulpy strawberry to a rhubarb and green olive nose bursting with carnation and Rose aromas, and a blood orange, smoky raspberry, and cran-apple pudding, without being sweet. Really well crafted. — 9 years ago

#thanksgiving #Volnay deep crimson with watery delicate surface. Extends to the edge. Ruby crimson Cran variation

The nose is mushroom, damp soil with some asphalt. Brambley Bing cherry, raspberry.

I like the fluidity. Good structure with cranberry type acid. Medium body. Black cherry, more raspberry. The finish is supple and quick.
