- wondersofwine - 07-20-2009 Burgundy, France. My Bastille Day wine. 13% alcohol. Cork was moldy under the seal and soaked most of its length but was extracted intact. Viscosity. Dark purple-red color; semi-opaque. Herbal bouquet underlies dark fruit on the nose. The palate reveals juicy dark cherries and blueberry and the smooth velvet texture characteristic of Volnay. Sturdy enough for a groundbeef casserole with tomato sauce. Would also complement duck breast in cherry sauce. In a good drinking window now. I'm not sure if further cellaring would add or detract from the appeal but I may have one more bottle of this lurking to try at ten years. - Thomas - 07-20-2009 Ahhh, Volnay--incomparable when right on. This sounds like a winner. |
