Plummy cherries can be discerned in the 2000 Volnay Santenots's aromatic profile. On the palate, this wine reveals excellent density of fruit (mostly candied red and black cherries with some roasted, grapey characteristics as well). Its medium-bodied personality is firm, with a long finish that exhibits loads of ripe tannin. Some warmth (from alcohol) can also be discerned in its finish. Drink it over the next 4 years.
