Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Mitans Vintage:2024 dark cocoa(fashioned with 100% whole clusters). A discreet application of wood frames the expressive and super fresh aromas of red berries, plum and violet. The nicely rich and punch medium weight flavors possess a refined midpalate mouth feel though here too there is a mild edginess to the otherwise lingering finish. I suspect that the edginess will round out with a few years of bottle age. (87 90) 2023+
