Burghound (90)

The presence of the stems is evident as the ripe black cherry nose is highly floral as it leads to rich, round and very supple medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel and here too the finish is mildly austere and appears to lack the last little bit of phenolic ripeness.

Robert Parker (92)

The 2008 Volnay Clos des Chenes opens with an explosive bouquet. It shows gorgeous structure and tension in its fruit. Today the 2008 is a touch clenched but it should soften with time. Tar, goudron and licorice linger on the finish. Lafon used 50% whole clusters here. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.
