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

licorice and chocolate all build effortlessly

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

a pinch of spice on the finish

Jacques Prieur, Volnay Santenots other_regions_italy The palate offers distinct pineapple(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.
