92 Points Allen Meadows - Burghound "*** Outstanding *** Here the nose is earthier and not as elegant with a somber if complex nose of dark berries and black fruit liqueur aromas. There is excellent richness to the sleekly muscular and powerful medium-bodied flavors that ooze a fine dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the driving, long, balanced and impressively deep finish. This built to age effort is a robust and imposing Volnay." (04/2012)
