Pierre Girardin Size:6x750ml floral and pungently spicy nose

floral and pungently spicy nose features notes of plum and dark berry fruit scents that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice

It comes from a lieu-dit in the village of Navatalgordo where they produce the El Tamboril

Medium-sweet and moderately dense

This robust and powerful effort is decidedly old school in style

Pierre Girardin Size:6x750ml floral and pungently spicy nose(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.
