Note di degustazione
Sweet, sappy aromas of peach and nuts. At once sweet and gripping, with superb sugar/acid balance. Less minerally and less refined than the Chevalier but offers more obvious volume today without any loss of verve. Peachy and long on the back. Girardin's best '04s show outstanding richness and opulence for the vintage, and a bit more verve than the fatter '05s.

Subtly complex aromas of nut oil, nutmeg, menthol and charred oak. A huge, fat, sweet wine with outstanding palate-staining concentration. Expressive, soil-inflected, highly nuanced flavors of minerals, nut oils, spring flowers and spices. As chewy and thick as this is, it's also wonderfully light on its feet, with uncommon class for Batard. This is from Girardin's oldest vines, harvested on October 3.
