but unlike vintages of ten years ago

Wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries

I appreciate the freshness and the piquant finish

tannic finish that has immense precision

It also shows a lot of balsamic character

Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Santenots Vintage:2019 but unlike vintages of ten(from Les Plures). Moderate reduction masks the nuance of the fruit though there is both good tension and freshness to the beautifully detailed and lightly stony medium bodied flavors that possess a seductive, even sophisticated, texture while delivering excellent persistence on the balanced though very firm finale. This is excellent and well worth considering provided you intend to allow for at least mid term cellaring.
