Aged in 33% new oak barrels, the medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1997 Volnay Clos des Chenes offers red and black cherry aromas. This velvety-textured, elegant, beautifully fashioned wine is replete with sweet cherries and oak spices. It offers liquid satin with syrupy fresh fruit. A delight to drink today, it should easily hold for 6-7 years. Importer: Ex Cellars, Solvang, CA; tel (805) 686-9153.
