Stunning and generous nose. Spicey cherry, macerated cherries, mid season, clove, cinnamon, cardamon, pomegranite and so much more. Such an evocative nose and super fragrant. Gorgeous, detailed minerality. Palate is so decadent with unreal sweet fruit that is kinky and confectionary. So juicy and sleek. Amazing, sweet and velvety tannins. Juicy and so tangy with just the most outrageous inner mouth sweetness and florals. This is so brilliant. Girard really stepped it up in 2023. This is such a refined wine and from an often forgotten about 1er Cru. The tannins are remarkable and substantial but man are they sleek and sweet. Some plum skin, black cherry now with air but my god the sweetness is literally insane. 9.6 for now. Let’s see where this goes. I can’t get over this nose. It’s just to kinky and exotic. It smells like a carnival. In Volnay.
