The most Volnay of an AP wine I’ve ever had. Haunting nose of wild cherries, spice and mint. Fresh fallen leaves, earth and minerals. Leather, tar and old books. Some tweed jacket as well. So clean. Awesome aromas. So complex, enveloping and inviting. Super elegant and juicy with sweet mid season red cherry fruit and awesome purity and concentration. Much more approachable than the 16 at this point. So supple and succulent. This is so classy and has great breeding. The nose gets more complex with air. Really complex spice and florals start to develop. 9.6 nose. Super sweet fruit and painful tiny berry fruit intensity and suave tannins. 9.5 for real. Wow wine.

Supremely elegant. Drinking very nicely with a decant. Cozy mustiness which blows off, mint, fruit, & spices on the nose. Palate is all sweet cherry fruit with a lacework tannic undergirding that softens as it opens. Totally see the volnay comparison @Lyle Fass notes below. Lovely stuff. 😍
