Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot has a slightly smudged bouquet. It feels a little reduced with dusky, brambly, dark berry fruits that are sullen. The palate is smudged on the entry with chewy tannins and moderate acidity, but it is lacking a little finesse and detail. Drink Date: 2014 - 2019
