Volnay Clos des Ducs, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville 2008

The '08 is not quite as aromatically complex as its 2009 counterpart though it's close with a superbly layered nose of cool red berry fruit, floral notes and wet stone, the latter of which is present in abundance on the rich yet beautifully detailed middle weight flavors brimming with minerality and energy, all wrapped in a focused, linear and precise finish of huge length, which remains at present youthfully austere. A classic Ducster that will require 10 to 12 years to be at its peak.
