| Tasting note |
Here too there is moderate toasty influence on the notably ripe, indeed almost liqueur-like aromas of red and black raspberry, cassis, plum and soft spice notes. There is a textured mouth feel to the supple, round and delicious middle weight flavors that possess a bit more verve before culminating in a firm, serious and solidly persistent finish. There is good balance and fine depth though note that this will need time. Drink 2019+. By Allen Meadows, Apr 2013.
A dense, concentrated version that borders on muscular. The cherry and berry flavors are pure and accented by a touch of earth. Vibrant and long. Best from 2016 through 2026. By Wine Spectator, Mar 2014.
(two-thirds of this wine is from very old, low-yielding vines): Good bright red. Dark cherry, menthol, bitter chocolate and licorice on the nose. Fine-grained and vibrant, offering serious mineral energy and definition to the flavors of black fruits and spices. Finishes tactile, firmly tannic and long, with excellent grip. By Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Feb 2013.
The 2011 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre has a lovely fleshy nose with luscious red cherries and strawberry. The palate is well-balanced with fine tannins, plenty of crisp red currant and cranberry fruit, with fine backbone on the finish. Very fine. Drink 2014-2020. By Wine Advocate, Aug 2013. |
