17’s from villages or lesser 1er Crus are in the zone now. Wow. Nose has very expressive candied cherries, bubble gum and such clarity. Unreal nose. 9.5 nose. Just stunning. Palate has gorgeous fruit and ripe, substantial and sweet tannins. Lovely persistence and purity. This is showing younger on the palate than the nose but wow this is a stunner. Needs air. But what a wine. I’ll be back as it opens.
9.3 to 9.4 overnight. More integrated and tannins became velvety.

Nov 8th, 2022Nose starts out a bit closed but you can see the perfume. Then roses, ripe cherry fruit, so aromatic. Some hints of citrus skin. Wow. Such a pure and elegant nose. Classic Volnay. As it opens a dizzying perfume is there. Earth, mineral, loam. So so good. Palate is ripe, juicy and substantial. Good fruit and texture, with awesome juiciness and very very fine tannins. Long sweetly fruited finish. Terrific complexity, energy and depth. This is super impressive. It drinks well after 10 minutes as well. Awesome. Superb velvety, ripe and sweet tannins. Terrific inner mouth florals and fruit. Almost a 9.5.
