Notes:

Allen Meadows' Burghound, May 2011
A more complex if less elegant nose offers notes of ripe dark berry fruit, warm earth and subtle spice notes that give way to rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract on the quite firm and powerful finish. This is a classic Clos l'Audignac that should be capable of aging effortlessly for at least ten years.   92 points and Oustanding.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011
The 2009 Volnay Clos d'Audignac is the most open and inviting of these 2009s today. Layers of rich, textured fruit flow across the palate in stunning style. Hints of goudron and licorice add complexity to the dark, jammy fruit.   93 points.
