Quite full and rich for such a young Cornas...the structure indicates a wine that will age gracefully yet it can be consumed now (with an assist from a decanter) — 10 years ago

Delicious through and through! Hazelnut, almond, and a little caramel assist the pineapple, green pear and apple fruits. Slight amount of butter to the round mid palate but it is assisted by very nice acidity the entire time. Very nice long lingering finish! — 10 years ago

Santenots Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2008

Tom Higgins
9.6

Vibrant nose and color in the glass - pomegranate and dark cherry - ala texbook burgundy with some white truffle and wet forest floor. The palate seems young and vibrant - but has incredible depth and structure. The tannins are med weight and can easily assist this wine over the next 12-15 years (2027-2030). — 11 years ago
