yellow flowers

There is excellent volume to the dense medium-bodied flavors as the old vines are in evidence

I very much like the balance as the firm acid spine is well-integrated though note that this too is going to require at least 5-ish years of cellaring first

perfumed aromas of fresh flowers

Is this the best vintage since 1990 or perhaps 1978

Pierre Girardin other_regions yellow flowers(100% whole clusters). A mentholated top note is present on the pretty aromas of rose petal, peony, anise and wisps of both red and dark currant. The sleek, intense and beautifully delineated mineral driven flavors are less rich but more powerful and more complex on the strikingly long finish. The texture, while less enveloping, is more sophisticated and overall, I very much like the sense of proportion and harmony.
