The 2004 Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds was tasted from magnum. It has a pleasant bouquet that is slightly herbaceous and tertiary, “green around the gills,” as it were. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant, slightly fleshy opening, but that green tincture carries on throughout and it feels a little short on the beetroot finish. This falls below my expectations given its performance from barrel several years ago. Drink now-2019.
