Tasting Notes

Mild reduction renders the nose difficult to evaluate other than to observe that the underlying fruit appears to be ripe. The lacy, even delicate flavors are classic Volnay with a lovely minerality on the delicious if slightly austere finish. This is textbook Mitans that will require the better part of a decade to soften its firm tannic spine.
