2021 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay 1er Cru Cinq Climats 750ml

Reviews: 91-94 points Burghound, "A wonderfully floral-suffused nose is exuberantly spicy on the cool red berry fruit aromas. There is both excellent vibrancy and mid-palate density to the overtly mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a moderately austere and firm finish that flashes impressive depth and length. This is lovely, with the development potential to match, as this should reward a decade plus of keeping. (AM)" 94 points John Gilman, "On the surface, the relatively black fruity personalities of Mitans, Pitures and Clos des Chenes would not seem likely to marry well with the generally more red fruity profiles of Caillerets and Clos du Chateau des Ducs, but they actually synthesize remarkably well together and have produced a dazzlingly complex and elegant blended Premier Cru in 2021. The bouquet is nicely red fruity in personality, offering up scents of red plums, cherries, gamebird, a beautifully complex base of soil tones, bonfire, raw cocoa, vanillin oak
