Fabulous wine, already in a good spot, but it's clear (after the final glass), this has a lot of room to run before it's hit peak. Perhaps it's 2008, or perhaps it is the site, maybe it's both - whatever it is, this is a feather in Girardin's cap, this wine showing excellent freshness, fine balance, very good lift, and solid delineation of red fruits. A kick of spice and soil every so often makes this fun; the really good balance (not something I'm used to with this producer's lesser bottlings), keeps it engaging. If you have some, wait 5 or 10 years, either way you win. recommended
Double-decanted 2 hours before serving, non-blind.

新桶的存在感很强,一板一眼略封闭。后期香气逐渐显露真容,果香多汁的风格作为收尾的酒还是很好的。再过几年应该会更好,目前来看缺少一点个性。阿尔卑斯山的少女忽然成了贵族家的女仆,怎么说呢,暂时有点迷失自我的那种状态中。90+
