Volnay Clos de Chenes Fontaine Gagnard 2005
This was a half bottle opened at a friend's place Sunday night. We all quite liked it, although one taster thought the alcohol (13.5%) was obtrusive. Nose with a lot of black cherry and a little earthiness, lots of acidity and tannin hiding the fruit some on the palate, but there was a lot going on there and definitely one to watch out for in a few years.
