2005 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Champans 750ml
Reviews: 91-93 points Wine Advocate, "Scented with cherry and cassis, flowers and fungus, smoke and chalk dust, this displays richness and depth, fine tannins and emerging silkiness, and a youthfully firm but long finish loaded with savory subtleties. (DS)" 94 points Burghound, "I have had this beauty several times since release and it is evolving glacially as there is only a touch of maturity to the ripe raspberry liqueur-like nose evidences hints of spice, violets, earth and underbrush. The vibrant, pure, round and naturally sweet medium-bodied flavors possess excellent intensity on the precise, powerful and mineral-driven finish. There is a beautiful tension to this wine and while there is a serious tannic backbone, this seems supple on the mid-palate because the structure is so well-buffered. (AM)"
