One of the best Girard 23’s. First time since April and it’s just as I remember. What a wine. Lush, giving cherry nose that just exudes purity and generousness. So inviting. Palate is lush and generous with unreal fruit. Black cherry, red cherry, blackberry. So dense, so explosive and fresh. Gorgeous, diamond cut tannins. Unreal wine. Wow. — 5 days ago
I don’t think this was the best bottle. Nose seemed oddly oxidized but the palate was smoking. Maybe dosage a bit too high but elegant, balanced and super pure. I’ll taste again tonight but I think I need to open another bottle to get a handle on this. — 2 days ago
Nose starts off woody but with exquisite and deep, wafting minerality. The palate has wood as well and unreal density and concentration. Just explosive. So pure and the wood will integrate as the raw materials are just incredible. So clean but obviously very young but super impressive. Will be back. Ok, it took around 24+ hours but wow is this sick. Truly. It’s so elegant, rich and dense and has insane complexity. It’s got some wood to loose but that will be fine in 5-9 years. But if drunk today needs 24+ hours open. On day 3 this is where this really delivers. Huge wet earth nose, wintergreen, full oak integration. 9.8. nose. Stunning. Palate is so good. Dense, elegant, explosive, long and concentrated. Tart even. Awesome. Unreal minerality. — 6 days ago
