2010 Joseph Drouhin, Volnay Premier Cru, Clos des Chenes 1×1.5L

Vinous 91+

Good medium red. Reduced aromas of blackberry syrup and smoke. Dense, rich, ripe and concentrated; at once thick and sappy, with savory dark berry flavors complicated by a hint of milk chocolate and saline minerality. Finishes tactile and long, but still a bit reduced. I’d wait until 2018. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/03/2013]
