Nicolas Rossignol, Volnay Santenots Vintage:2019 This is a strong showing(from Santenots Dessous). Very ripe aromas of cassis, black berry liqueur, violet and anise precede the equally broad shouldered flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the powerful, hugely long and very serious finish that is shaped by a markedly firm tannic spine. This is a buy and forget you own it wine as I would suggest not touching a bottle for at least 10 years. With that said, this is most impressive.
