The tannic structure is ample and well-rounded

De La Pousse D'Or Volnay, En Caillerets Premier Cru 2018 southern-rhone The tannic structure is ampleAn overtly spicy nose features notes of black cherry, violet and a whisper of oak. There is fine volume and a strong mineral streak running the length of the nicely textured middle weight flavours and continues onto the somewhat lean finish where the supporting tannins are surprisingly raspy if not actually gritty. Again, time may come to the rescue but this is not a wine with its usual finesse.
