2005 Joseph Drouhin Volnay Clos de Chenes 1er Cru, Volnay (750ml)

Good full red. Meaty reduction dominates the nose. Dense, chewy and ripe; a step up in concentration, breadth and sweetness from the CNV. Finishes with serious but ripe tannins. Nicely fleshy wine but hard to taste today owing to its reductive quality. 88-90 points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 07
