Rich and truffley on the palate

Pierre Girardin Size:6x750ml Tasted at the Cos d’Estournel(50% whole clusters; one barrel produced). Like the Beaux Monts, this is sufficiently reduced to largely mask what appears to be ripe fruit that derives more from the dark side of the spectrum. More interesting are the super sleek, even silky, middle weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension on the dusty, highly complex and even firmer finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth. Very promising.
