Pierre Girardin other_regions_italy The youngest reserve wine dates

The youngest reserve wine dates back to 2015

Nicely knit nose with some elegance

succulent and seductive medium-bodied flavors that possess a gorgeous texture if not quite the overall depth and persistence of the Grands Charrons

blackberry tart

then finishes dry and tannic

Pierre Girardin other_regions_italy The youngest reserve wine dates(50% whole clusters; one barrel produced). Like the Beaux Monts, this is sufficiently reduced to largely mask what appears to be ripe fruit that derives more from the dark side of the spectrum. More interesting are the super sleek, even silky, middle weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension on the dusty, highly complex and even firmer finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth. Very promising.
