Domaine Louis Boillot 2022 Volnay "Les Angles" 1er Cru 750ml

Here the timid nose is more deeply pitched still with its array of plum, dark currant, humus and just turned earth. There is at once excellent volume as well as a refined texture to the utterly delicious and vibrant middleweight flavors that flash evident minerality on the bitter pit fruit-suffused finish. This firm effort needs to develop better depth but the underlying material appears to be present for that to occur.
