Pierre Girardin other_regions_italy A stunner of a wine

A stunner of a wine that has everything it needs for 30 plus years of life

vivacious red berry nose infused with ash and cigar box aromas

Then juicy and bright in the mouth

but finesse is not its key calling card

Pierre Girardin other_regions_italy A stunner of a wine(100% whole clusters). A mentholated top note is present on the pretty aromas of rose petal, peony, anise and wisps of both red and dark currant. The sleek, intense and beautifully delineated mineral driven flavors are less rich but more powerful and more complex on the strikingly long finish. The texture, while less enveloping, is more sophisticated and overall, I very much like the sense of proportion and harmony.
