This has rounded out nicely in the year or so since I last tasted it with rich, sweetish, red fruit, lots of earth and some slightly chalky tannins. There's good depth here with slightly tarry undertones. Quite nice and needed about 3-4 hours of air.

Tonight this started out with a pungent nose of red cherry, spice, earth and some tarry notes, all of which carried thru to the fairly acidic, midweight palate. The tannins on the finish are stil abit aggressive. Overall, this is still on the young side, but quite nice. Softened and opened quite abit with 4 or 5 hours of air.

This is an excellent Givry. The rich red fruit is sweet, bright and youthful with very good depth and complexity along with earth and some tarry undertones. Quite delicious and drinking wonderfully after just a few minutes of air and, in my opinion, a really good qpr.

This is a very nice, young Givry. This is not a wine to contemplate but it does have enough bright red fruit, earth and depth to make it interesting. Even though its quite young, I'm not sure we shouldn't go ahead and enjoy it today for its bright fruit and youthful exuberance. Not a spectacular qpr, but reasonable. Needed about an hour of air to blow some residual co2.

Dark and fairly rustic on opening but blossomed nicely after a couple of hours of air.
