2015 Pousse d Or Volnay 1er Clos 60 Ouvrees

Bright ruby. Deep aromas of blackberry and cassis complemented by sweet chocolatey oak. Large-scaled, rich and sweet; even a bit chunky today, with some CO2 yet to be absorbed. But this very rich, smooth wine has plenty of supporting energy to temper its chocolatey ripeness. Finishes with ripe, thoroughly buffered tannins. Terrific potential here. Vinous/Steve Tanzer 91-94

There is enough reduction present to render the nose difficult to assess today. Otherwise there is a slightly finer mouth feel to the sleek, intense and sappy flavors that possess a highly polished and seductive mouth feel while brimming with minerality on the firm and youthfully austere finale. Like the Bousse d'Or this is going to require at least some patience and ultimately reward 12 to 15 years of cellar time.  Burghound 92-94
