RP-93, JS-93

S$139.00

The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvee Carnot is showing beautifully from bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, black plums, sweet soil tones and subtle spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it’s one of the more tightly wound wines in the range, with powdery structuring tannins, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish.

Blueberry, plum and flower aromas with some new leather. It?s full-bodied with lots of fruit and density. Flavorful and stylish at the finish. A little tight now. Try after 2022.
