Other Reviews....
A notably ripe nose stops just short of surmaturité while displaying notes of plum, black cherry, earth and a pretty lashing of spice elements. There is a bit more size, weight and mid-palate stuffing to the velvety and palate soaking flavors that are shaped by a markedly firm tannic spine on the gorgeously persistent finale where the only nit is a barely discernible hint of warmth. Lovely but once again, patience required.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

Bright medium ruby. Less open and expressive on the nose than the Frémiet, with ripe but restrained black fruit flavors accented by cocoa powder and high-pitched spices. Very rich, supple and deep; very ripe but with terrific penetrating energy and inner-mouth tension giving the wine an unlikely delicacy. ("The 2005s never had the sharpness of acidity of the 2015s," noted Guillaume d'Angerville, who in 2013 purchased an additional block of very old vines next to the estate's original holding, which was replanted in the 1990s.)

Stephen Tanzer - Vinous

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiets was showing very well from bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of raspberry, cherry, spice and orange rind that offer little hint of the savory complexity to come with bottle age. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, structured around juicy acids and a fine-grained but firm chassis of tannins that asserts itself on the finish. Fremiets sits above the Clos des Angles, and its shallower soils tend to issue in wines with notable crunch and tension.
