N. Rossignol, Volnay (Burgundy) 2005

Vibrant red.

Nose of tar/cheese (strange, but accurate), Bordeaux-ish oak toast and black cherry pastry.

Intense, bound up flavors of red cherry, spice and a medicinal nuance. Acid spine throughout, but red fruit flavor rides through it all. Needs several years in the bottle.

Day 5 - Tar and black cherry coulis nose, intense and fresh. Still bound up in the mouth, but the depth of fruit is obvious. Considerable acid constriction in the finish, but subtle finishing red cherry flavor rides through it.
