Wonderfully pristine and aromatic in the mouth

Jacques Prieur, Volnay Santenots Size:6x750ml Another gorgeous wine from this(from younger vines in Clos des Santenots). This is ripe to the point of displaying background notes of prune on the plum and earth scented nose that lacks the same freshness. There is better freshness to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the borderline chewy finish. This may come together but its awkward and a bit heavy today.
