Candied red cherries soar from the glass of the 2003 Volnay (red). Medium to full-bodied, it is packed with broad layers of dark fruits, black currant syrup, herbs, and asphalt. This excellent offering reveals great ripeness of fruit, a thick personality, and a long, tannin-laden finish. Drink it between 2008 and 2014.
