    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Marquis d'Angerville, Volnay, Clos des Ducs, 1er Cru, 2005

    As usual the most brooding and closed of d'Angerville's wines, the huge potential is clear to see, though, with its mutli-layered cherry, forest berry and rock mineral characteristics. Structured, towering, full-blooded yet greatly sophisticated.

    The 2005 Volnay Clos des Ducs 1er Cru is a vintage I have not encountered for some time. At first, it is closed and obdurate on the nose, though there is fruit concentration here. It's just a Clos des Ducs that is playing its cards close to its chest. Earthy? The palate is initially tight-fisted, only reluctantly opening and offering tantalizing glimpses of a sweet core of fruit. Yet it feels distant that the moment, perhaps exaggerated when juxtaposed here against the more expressive 2010 Clos des Ducs. Patience required. Tasted at the Marquis d'Angerville tasting in London.
