Camille Giroud, Volnay Lurets Vintage:2013 earth and anise plus a

earth and anise plus a waft of cedar chest

the Brovia Barolo can be a real overachiever

and think it needs another 2-3 years of cellaring

plenty of red berry fruit

I like the power and punch but the hint of herbaceousness is a potential concern

Camille Giroud, Volnay Lurets Vintage:2013 earth and anise plus aThis is aromatically similar to the straight Volnay though while I like the slightly better complexity the nose isnt quite as fresh. There is better vibrancy on the palate of the succulent and round flavors that also exude a subtle minerality on the slightly warm and raspy finish. This is certainly good but its not quite as well balanced.
