Nice ripe blackberry/dark cherry fruit with a woodsy maple syrup note. Rich, soft, but not overblown at all. Lowish acid and a bit of puckery tannin in the finish. Very nice for short term enjoyment.

Girard's Artistry is always a crowd pleaser. Such a smooth red blend. Dark purple color, long legs. Smells like blackberry pie and cocoa powder. Tannins were very well integrated for this being so young. Fruit forward finish.

A great find on the list tonight here in San Antonio - pop and pour goodness and a crowd pleaser for sure. Home tomorrow to me own stash - looking forward to it!

This is Girard 2013 Artistry. The color is opaque. The bouquet is lavender and grape jelly. The initial bouquet is sharp and slightly sour but that quickly dissipates to a very dry finish. There is a quick blast of sour black berries and pepper in the middle of the palate. There is oak on the very dry finish. I think it needs to breathe for at least an hour.

Heavy blend, dark red in color. Needed to breathe. Strong finish, not as smooth as I would have liked for the blend.
