Quite beautiful

I’m not feeling too happy today and wine is not a cheap substitute for happiness it is an expensive pre-requiste for happiness: I’ve opened another bottle.

Volnay Premier Cru 2001, Domaine de Montille

It is really very pale in colour. A bright nose of cherries and strawberries. This smells quite beautiful. The palate has really lovely fruit, good concentration and nice length, but it is really elegant and refined. This is really lovely. It would age very well for at least another decade. It was cheap too, what more could one ask for?
