The 2019 Colle Vota will require time to fully blossom as it is primary and palate-staining today

A fresh but restrained nose is completely different as it’s less spicy and more floral with lovely and airy notes of both red and dark currant scents

licorice and chocolate all build effortlessly

The palate offers distinct pineapple and dusty citrus blossom flavors along with succulent acidity and a food-friendly and delicate mineral tension

This is certainly quite ripe but there is good tension and this should amply repay extended cellaring

Jacques Prieur, Volnay Santenots other_regions_italy The 2019 Colle Vota will(from younger vines in Clos des Santenots). This is ripe to the point of displaying background notes of prune on the plum and earth scented nose that lacks the same freshness. There is better freshness to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the borderline chewy finish. This may come together but its awkward and a bit heavy today.
