This 1983 Volnay Premuer Cru Clos de la Bousse d'Or was tasted at the last PWC dinners some months ago. We were taking a number of wines froim years ending in 3, so they were also a whole number of decades old. This one at thirty was the oldest that night. If you had been following my blog from the beginning, you might remember a 19th century Madeira, which is also a whole number of decades old too, actually exactly one and a half century old this year, but that is for another ocassion, another blog.
This 30 year old Burgundy was a garnet colour but with pink hints round the edge. The nose was meaty and earthy with a touch of acid, leading to a sour plum palate, supported by an acid backbone. A nice drink but nothing outstanding to grab you attention.
