Lafarge Volnay 1er cru Caillerets 2013

92-94 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate):"The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets is much more introspective and closed on the nose compared to the other Volnays: this bouquet tells you not to be so foolish as to nose it so prematurely. However, it does begin to open with intriguing dried blood/ferrous scents infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, 'thicker' tannins than expected that lend this Caillerets the density more than the tension at the moment. This deserves 5 or 6 years at least in bottle. Drink: 2019-2035. (Dec 2014)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2013 Caillerets is absolutely classic from Domaine Lafarge, delivering a pure and still quite primary bouquet of cherries, red currants, woodsmoke, tons of exotic spice tones such as cardamom and coriander, a stony signature of soil, mustard seed and spit-roasted pigeon. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very stony in personality, with a lovely core, ripe tannins and a very long, tangy and transparent finish. This is still a very young wine, but it will be outstanding in the fullness of time. 2024-2060. (Nov/Dec 2014)"

91-93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Healthy bright red. Riper aromas of black fruits, spices and menthol. The sweetest and roundest of these 2013s to this point, offering rich, suave flavors of red fruits, spices and red licorice. Serious but fine-grained tannins arrive late, allowing the fruit to saturate the palate. This should evolve gracefully. Drink: 2023-2034. (Jan 2015)"

89-93 points Fine Wine Review: "The wine shows the Caillerets texture and has dark fruit with lightness on the palate and good length. (12/18/14)"
