2009 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Bousse d’Or, La Pousse d’Or
This beauty needed an hour or two before really opening up, but then...just wooow! The nose is deep, complex and utterly delicious with notes of sweet red currants, forest floor, dark flowers, smoke and a stunning balsamic note. Awesome is the right word on this occasion.
The taste is handsome and tight with notes of ripe red currants, rasberry candy, bakelite and loads of minerals. Sand and silk. Sooo balanced. Very, very long. Has started its way to maturity but I would love to drink this gorgeous creature from now and the coming 15 years. A truly great wine. Grand Cru level and then some.

No no no, you have misunderstood this completely, 2009 red Burgundy is already over the hill ... useless ... just a lot of jammy fruit. Give it to me instead.
