1999 Baron de la Charrire Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chnes Vieilles Vignes, alc 13%, $40...nice underbrush/forest nose...this opens up nicely with dark fruit and a significant intensity...almost jammy but not in an overripe way but more of a fresh fruit compote...the tannins are only moderate at most... drinks as if it younger than the stated age....really showing well and matched mushroom soup very well...

(Apparently this is the same wine as that bottled under the Vincent Girardin label)
