Went through a few dumb phases prior to showing up. Be patient. Still not by any means great (or even really good) burg, but you can find a few things to like after it pisses you off several times while it's trying to find its fruit: mushrooms, earthy, dark, etc

Deep, heady, dizzying nose of strawberry compote, cherry liquer, sandalwood, maybe some eucalyptus, and other exotic woods.
palate also brings damp earth, light rose , and a slight sanguine note. More muscular Than I would have expected out of a volnay. But at the same time precise and fresh with energizing acidity creating a nervy tension. Sensational
I should mention that it needed considerable time. Started off very floral and strawberry but somewhat one dimensional. Several hours later was a different wine
