The oak feels a little more evident (Carlos explained they used a little more new oak for it)

along with a hint of exotic spices that builds steadily in the glass

Suitably rustic and dense in structure

This wine will actually benefit from 3-4 years of bottle-age and drink well for 15-20 years

Cooler and more reserved red raspberry

Camille Giroud, Volnay Lurets other_regions_italy The oak feels a littleThis is aromatically similar to the straight Volnay though while I like the slightly better complexity the nose isnt quite as fresh. There is better vibrancy on the palate of the succulent and round flavors that also exude a subtle minerality on the slightly warm and raspy finish. This is certainly good but its not quite as well balanced.
