Gorgeous and ripe nose of dark cherry and late season red cherry fruit. Really pure and lovely earthy tones underneath. Palate is elegant with lovely grainy tannins and exquisite and ripe dark red cherry fruit. So pure and fresh. Terrific energy and sap. This has a lot of material and will need air to be fully expressive. Really fragrant now. Terrific old library book aromas. Gorgeous sweet fruit on the palate and great fruit soak. Lingering finish Terrific inner mouth aromas and richness but so fresh. — 4 days ago
Stunning nose of wet earth, liquid minerals, a hint of butter, lime zest, meyer lemon, green apple, melon and so much more. Incredible aromatic depth and layering. The crystalline purity of the nose must be smelled to be believed. Palate is a bit closed shut right now but is dazzlingly pure and electric. Emphatic richness allied with engaging minerality and its showing such complexity right now. The finish is intensely mineral and never ends. Pierre is like the beatles. Endless hits. Unreal concentration and salinity. Really coats the mouth. Such killer delineation and finesse. Top stuff. With air the nose becomes super aromatic and confectionary. Also an appealing hit of saline. Gorgeous and clear. Stunning elegance and power. This is profound. After 4 hours open this is a pure mind bender. The nose is achingly beautiful. Pure lemon drop now coming through. Palate is rich with insane salinity and depth. Just so brilliant. — 4 days ago
Gorgeous nose of deep cherry fruit, tweed jacket, minerals and wet earth. Gorgeous and classic SLB and classic Girard. Fleshy and ripe but excellent cut and grip. Superb supple red fruits and nice finesse for such a humble wine. Tiny berry fruit intensity and so sappy. Great dissipation on the finish. — 2 days ago

The first wine I ever made and I must say I am a brilliant winemaker. It’s 75 grenache and 25 syrah. Nose is galets, blackberry, granite and crushed stones plus blackberry flower. Some game as well. Palate is just stunning. Juicy, pure and ultra balanced with gooey black fruits and such cut and precision — 21 hours ago
