The 2009 Volnay En Caillerets bursts from the glass with a huge, explosive bouquet. Blackberries, blueberries, hard candy and spices are just a few of the notes that emerge from this layered, intense Burgundy. There is plenty of inner tension here, in fact the Caillerets appears to be holding back a lot of its potential. It is a dazzling wine though, and one built for the long haul. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2049.
A discreet touch of wood frames notably elegant aromas of plum, violets and stone where the
latter element also suffuses the rich, fleshy and delicious middle weight flavors that possess an abundance of dry extract that buffers the moderately firm tannins on the impressively persistent finish. This should be lovely in time. Drink: 2017+.
Good deep red-ruby. Complex, leesy aromas of redcurrant, cherry, smoke and minerals. Rich, lush, concentrated and deep, with sweet black cherry, bitter chocolate, mocha and licorice flavors framed and lifted by a firm acid spine. Finishes fat, rich and very long, with suave tannins and excellent balance.
