  Viscous, dark ruby-garnet appearance offering attractive, spicy, cherry-blackberry liqueur nose. A youthful and fresh nose comparable to the other two bottles consumed. Soft mouthfeel of mature red berries that offers a bit more heat than sweet on the modest finish. Nice nose but a blasé flavor component.

  Liked this bottle much better. Medium ruby-garnet color. Fresh plum-red cherry nose with hints of anise and rose. Still quite floral and more fragrant than the previous bottle. Flavor profile is a panopoly of cherry, red berry, and other red fruit flavors, offering a round, balanced, seamless, silky mouthfeel. Not an especially complex wine but very satisfying and in its prime drinking window.

  Dark garnet, spicy nose with cinnamon, allspice, pomegranate, touch of menthol. Balanced, rather straightforward palate of grilled cherries and sweet strawberries. A touch hot on the modest finish but a pleasant drink with food.

  Canele: Earthy gamey notes at first with Asian spice, slight walnutty, bretty aspect, showing some age, medium concentration, just a bit weak mid-palate; good solid.

  P'N'P. No horribly, obvious oak on first sniff, some smoke maybe but not char. Mature fruit with some complexity, darkish red fruits, lingering finish. Delicious! Drank along side a '08 J Roty Charmres (and a Clos Vaguest). The Roty showed superior structure and depth, but the Girardin was more mature with a decent yet softening structure, commence the slow decline. Lacey, smooth texture if not a touch edgy at times. One more to pop within 2 yrs for sure to see if it adds complexity.
