This is awesome. Gravel, tart black cherry, and graphite. Lots of acid. Oxymoronic hedonistic austerity. Reminds me of Lafarge. Joblot always seems to ring my bell.

While I love the wines of Joblot, I have rated this bottle a couple of points lower than I have been. The reason for this is that the fruit is fading fast and now the acidity is more predominant. Having said that, it still has notes of sour cherry, minerality and green tea that I love about these wines. Time to drink these up!

This is getting to be an older Givry, but still holding on with some sour cherry on the palate along with green tea and nice acidity. I think it is time to drink these up before the fruit has completely faded away.

This continues to drink beautifully, but it is definitely middle aged. It offers a nice Pinot fruit nose and then on the palate are ripe red fruits, spice, very nice acidity and a reasonably long finish.

At 12 years, the wine has a light red color, but a very nice nose of pinot fruit. It was dry, earthy, with subtle black cherry fruits. Very nice drinking, but won't last too many more years.
