A notably ripe and forward vintage from Domaine de Bellene's 2020 Volnay Les grands Poisots, showing slightly muddled fruit, dark and fleshy, also a sheen of new wood spice, vanilla (25% new wood). The palate is fullish and fleshy, densely packed and thickly structured, with lots of extract to report. Overall length, depth and complexity are moderate for the time being; this clearly needs more time in bottle, though will likely remain a more four-square example of Volnay rather than a delicate and perfumed wine. Think power over finesse. Tasted May 2022. Score - 92. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com)
