My love Volnay again
Comte Lafon
Santenots-du-Milieu
1995
Is it OK if I dare that it is still a few years too young
Great structure, lovely, but present tannin
So elegant, precise in its details
Long and an amazing aftertaste of a the sour cherry decorated with lots of elements
6th Bourgogne soiree

Wow! Still lively and full of fruit yet displaying all the lovely tertiary aromas expected of a 20 year old wine.

Starting to show its age a bit. The fruit was a bit dried but still lots of heady Pinot aromas.

Thought this was a little too old, but took a gamble out of interest. Bright and peppery, the first half of the bottle was delicious. As it warmed up, the over-ripe fruits were off putting
