Pousse d'Or, Volnay Caillerets Vintage:2016 with a mixture of flowersThere is enough wood and menthol on the black cherry, cassis and spiced nose to mention. There is excellent volume to the sappy and palate coating medium bodied flavors that exude ample minerality on the dusty and ever so mildly dry finish that my score assumes will age out as its likely related to the February bottling. 91 2024+
