Vincent Girardin Vieilles Vignes Volnay 2016

The 2016 Volnay Vieilles Vignes is another impressive 2016 barrel sample. Notes of black cherries, blackberries, smoked earth, underbrush, and earth all give way to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, structured wine that has ripe, present tannin, loads of fruit and depth, and a big finish. This is a rich, concentrated 2016 that has beautiful purity and finesse, as well as power. Maturity: 2018-2033. Score – 91-93. (jebdunnuck.com, March 20, 2018)
