Glorious nose. So exuberant. Rich, dense black and red cherries. Cranberry and black plum. Gorgeous lift. Palate has great freshness and deep black and red cherry fruit. Very pure and terrific acidity fans out on the long finish. Really lithe yet classic dense, structured and classic Aloxe. Really ripe, sweet, chewy and dense tannins. Girard always delivers. Fruit set that is developing on the finish is fantastic. 2019 is a modern day 1999. As this airs it gains in opulence, sap and a little toasty oak. Ideally a few more years. — 23 days ago

Nose: very earthy. Darkish cherries.

Palate: dark cherries. Cherry lipstick. Delicious. A bit simple. But very delicious.

I was a little concerned when I found this had aged so long. It was so delicious. Ripe juicy fruit with not too much oak, Soft mellowed tannins.  so glad this got the extra age.  — 25 days ago

Punching way above its weight, it is texturally very similar to the ‘02 CdlR. — 7 months ago
