Have not had since 2019. Nose is brambly with a cherry melange. Very earthy. Some wood shavings. A bit aromatically closed for now. Palate is juicy, very concentrated and sappy with great purity. Really long but also seems backwards. But terrific fruit and intensity. Very very sappy. Needs a few more years but you can the low yields of 16 gave this wine density and tons of material.
After an hour this has softened up and is super juicy and the tannins have calmed down. 9.2 to 9.3. Lavieres is such good terroir.

May 13th, 2022Love this vintage at Girard. Candied cherries, dense forest thicket, mineral, floral, cranberry, even come citrus, very fragrant but more to say. Palate is sappy and elegant with serious structure, deep cranberry and citrus fruit and lovely acid and freshness. Great depth and crunchy fruit. Really pure. Lovely long mineral infused brambly berry fruit and spices. I’d wait 2/3 years but not inaccessible now.
