Marquis d'Angerville, Volnay Fremiets Vintage:2017 melted tar and crushed violetThis is more discreet and reserved with wonderfully pure notes of red, black and blue fruits plus a lovely hint of violets that sit atop dusty, refined and gorgeously delineated flavors supported by an almost pungent minerality on the textured, long and explosive finish. This is more concentrated and structured than usual and should live for a very long time. (91 93) 2013+
