Drinking Tonight - 2002 Volnay Les Petits Poisots, Patrick Clémencet

Work has been hell lately, so tasting notes have been piling up. But here is a quick note of what I opened tonight.

2002 Volnay Les Petits Poisots, Patrick Clémencet
A nicely matured nose with notes of a damp forest floor, dried raspberries, rhubarb, smoke and a touch of veal stock. A bit old fashioned in a nice style. Very good.
The taste is velvety and mature with a fine acidity and notes of lingonberries, dried raspberries, smoke, Christmas spices and dry chocolate. A medium long, dry, fine finish. Not heaps of complexity but a very nice aged Burgundy for a Thursday evening.
87p   (tasted 2015/10)
