Ballot Millot, Volnay Santenots Size:6x750ml focusing on the cedarwood(from young vines situated in Les Plures; this had just been bottled when I tasted it). A background hint of volatile acidity is present on the otherwise pretty and fresh aromas of cherry, raspberry and spice. The sleek, delicious and acceptably concentrated middleweight flavors possess good power and solid length though the firm finish seems somewhat awkward, which may be due to the very recent bottling.
