Medium concentration with a crimson center and light violet rim. Slow to get started but evolved nicely. Med intensity on the nose with med + complexity. Roasted orange peel, spices, flowers, and ripe red compact fruit. The palate was less complex and age has really loosened the wine up. Soft tannins, present alcohol, and fine acid. Velvety comes to mind. Length was med. #josephdrouhin #volnay #pinotnoir #burgundy #cotedebeaune #premiercru #ctbucklinwine
