Volnay, Clos de Chênes --Vintage 1996
Côte de Beaune, Lafarge
"The dark ruby/purple-colored Volnay Clos Des Chênes bowled me over with its highly-expressive, profound, and complex aromas of plums, violets, blackberries, dark cherries, and Asian spices. This powerful, intense, muscular (yet refined!), deeply rich, and enthralling offering captivates the palate. I had the distinct feeling that this wine was only showing me what it wanted to display - more was in reserve and would be only be revealed when it chose to. It is compelling, concentrated, intricate, broad-shouldered, and jam-packed with blueberries, blackberries, red cherries, hints of new oak, and traces of wild game. This outstanding wine has an spectacularly long and lingering finish in which can be discerned copious quantities of ripe tannins drenched in fat and juicy fruits. Wow! Anticipated maturity: 2003-2010." Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate, #116 (Apr 1998)
