What a nose. Girard killed 18. Ripe, soppy ebullient mid to late season red cherries that are so clearly defined one cannot believe it. Ridiculous. Under all that is terrific potent sous bois and minerality. What a nose. Smoke. Minerals and so so bright. Nuanced and detailed. A “why I love” burgundy nose. Gorgeous wet moss. So so alluring. 9.4/9.5 nose. What a palate. Amazing fruit quality and such awesome, clearly defined cherry fruit. Such elegance and polished, ripe sweet tannins. It’s opulent and elegant at the same time. This has structure to burn as well and will age 15+ years. Terrific energy and sweet fruit. Best Serpentieres I’ve ever had from Girard.
