Smoke-accented red berries

There is a really lovely mouthfeel to the muscular

there was uninterrupted excellent weather until the harvest

these late-harvesting vines ripened thoroughly and delivered a full array of aromas and flavors so that the wine has plenty of depth and complexity

but it is nothing short of superb

Ballot Millot, Volnay Santenots Size:6x750ml Smoke-accented red berries(from young vines situated in Les Plures; this had just been bottled when I tasted it). A background hint of volatile acidity is present on the otherwise pretty and fresh aromas of cherry, raspberry and spice. The sleek, delicious and acceptably concentrated middleweight flavors possess good power and solid length though the firm finish seems somewhat awkward, which may be due to the very recent bottling.
