Volnay, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Not a bad little wine at 23 years of age. If you have any, don't wait too long.

Damp wet earth, mushrooms, and beef broth. Fascinating how this has held up.

May 24th, 2020Strong for a nearly 27 year 1er Cru red Burgundy. Did not decant. Deep red color, although a bit cloudy (stood for about 90 minutes before drinking). Good nose with earth and still a decent amount of dark fruits. Palate of dark cherries, mushroom, and some earth.
