It's hard to believe this is already just days away from its 19th birthday

It would be nice to see a little more mid-palate depth and persistence

This forward

finishing on a long-lingering licorice note

Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Mitans other_regions_italy It's hard to believe this(fashioned with 100% whole clusters). A discreet application of wood frames the expressive and super fresh aromas of red berries, plum and violet. The nicely rich and punch medium weight flavors possess a refined midpalate mouth feel though here too there is a mild edginess to the otherwise lingering finish. I suspect that the edginess will round out with a few years of bottle age. (87 90) 2023+
