Highly perfumed and expressive with elegant red pinot fruit aromas that possess added nuance in the form of subtle spice and violet hints. As one might reasonably expect, here the minerality is more prominent on the round, supple and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a silky finish. This is very Volnay
in basic character and delivers posi- tively terrific length. Outstanding. Drink [from] 2016+. Score: 90-93 (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, May 6, 2011)
