Wines of the week

Jean Boillot Volnay 1er Cru Les Freimets, 2001 and Chateau Bourgneuf (Pomerol) 1990

The Volnay was wonderfully long and complex with barnyard and chocolately notes on the finish; it was quite ready to go and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately I can't source any more...

The Bourgneuf was young and ever so silky and refined; remarkably youthful actually but not inaccessible. It was about $60 and more than worth it; I think the Volnay was $50...ish and worth it too.

Apologies for the squint, Leaning Tower of Pisa, picture:
