Ineffable nose combines plum

The 2019 Colle Vota will require time to fully blossom as it is primary and palate-staining today

This is certainly quite ripe but there is good tension and this should amply repay extended cellaring

The palate offers distinct pineapple and dusty citrus blossom flavors along with succulent acidity and a food-friendly and delicate mineral tension

a pinch of spice on the finish

Jacques Prieur, Volnay Santenots other_regions_italy Ineffable nose combines plum(from younger vines in Clos des Santenots). This is ripe to the point of displaying background notes of prune on the plum and earth scented nose that lacks the same freshness. There is better freshness to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the borderline chewy finish. This may come together but its awkward and a bit heavy today.
