Community Tasting Notes 2

  December 8, 2021 - 13% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Somewhat translucent and very slightly hazy garnet color with an evolved pomegranate hue. The nose feels somewhat evolved with aromas of leathery funk, some savory meaty tones, a little bit of cooked tomato, light ferrous notes of iron, a tertiary hint of wizened red fruits and a touch of smoke-cured ham. The wine is firm and somewhat concentrated, even slightly extracted, yet light-to-medium-bodied on the palate with a silky texture and slightly evolved flavors of ripe cranberries, some pomegranate, a little bit of tart lingonberry, light umami notes of savory meaty character, a tangy hint of salt-cured beef and a touch of tomato purée. The overall feel is quite muscular and relatively structured for a Givry Pinot Noir with the rather high acidity and quite ample and grippy tannins. The finish is long, tangy and evolved with flavors of ripe cranberries and tart lingonberries, some sour cherry bitterness, a little bit of beef jerky, light evolved meaty tones, a hint of gravelly minerality and a touch of earthy Pinosity.
  
  A classic aged Pinot Noir from the surprisingly assertive and extracted end of the spectrum. Although the wine feels surprisingly concentrated and tannic for a Givry, it never comes across as particularly clumsy or lacking finesse, thanks to its relatively lithe body and high acidity. All in all, the wine is in a terrific spot right now, showing a great combination of evolved complexity, still vibrant fruit and firm structure. I'd let the wine breathe for some while, just letting it open up a little, then pair it with food that would tone down the firm structure of the wine a bit. Priced according to its quality at 39€.
