The palate is still muscular

Lucien Le Moine, Volnay Caillerets Vintage:2017 bitter citrusReduction masks the underlying fruit though does not extend to the palate of the much, much finer if decidedly less powerful flavors that exude evident minerality and underlying tension before culminating in a bitter cherry infused finish. I like the depth though the dusty finish is somewhat short at present. Note that my predicted range assumes that the length will sort itself out. (89 92) 2029+
