Sebastien Roux, Volnay, 2005
Strangely, I found this bottle at Trader Joe's for about $20 -- which is about half of what you'd normally pay for Volnay.
In the bottle, we found a lot of flavors. Sea water and muscles. Raspberries and currant. Slate, mineral. Dry and tart. Dry hay.
However, I oscillate between liking and disliking this wine. On the one hand, the flavors and smell are very intriguing -- gamey for sure. On the other hand, it's a bit thin (lighter body) for my tastes. It's good if that's what you're in the mood for.
I still haven't decided if I'll pick up another bottle or not.
