The 2002 Volnay Clos des Santenots explodes from the glass with gorgeous scents of red fruits and violets. Deep, concentrated, broad, and big, it offers a medium to full-bodied character that is redolent with bacon, dark cherries, and candied raspberries. Some firm tannin is detectable in the finish, requiring some short-term cellaring. Projected maturity: 2007-2014.
