Drinking BEAUTIFULLY right now. Fully decanted 2008 bottle. Heavy sediment strained. Very powerful fruit explodes on the palette. Backdrop of earth and dust for the finish in classic durif style.

OK. I gave a 92 to a Pride Cabernet a couple days ago, and the Pride was more complex and more refined than this wine. However, the two wines were quite similar, and the BFTB (bang for the buck, AKA QPR) rating for the Girard is at least 99, so I'm giving it a 92. Lots of black cherries and blueberries. Medium viscosity and body, but the almost explosive fruit leads to an excellent fruit-driven finish. This is a steal of almost biblical proportions. Yowza!
