Estimate
Full-bodied and ripe, yet subtle and caressing, with pear, toasted oak, spice and tropical flavors. Amazing creamlike texture. Sweet-tasting and delicious, with a lingering, smoky finish. Very balanced.
Maybe the finest wine Girardin has ever made,... revealing an elegant and explosive nose of white flowers and sweet honeysuckle, and a mouth exhibiting great minerality, nuttiness and a touch of white pepper.
Terrific intensity on the palate: lively grapefruit, pineapple and floral flavors offer a lovely perfumed quality. Harmonious fruity acidity brightens and extends the flavors. Finishes spicy, firm and very long.
