Tasting Notes
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 93-96
Knockout nose combines stone fruits, menthol, nutmeg and spicy nut oils. Fat and sweet to the point of unctuous but with harmonious, ripe acidity (4.0 grams) giving shape to this wonderfully sweet and full wine. (The Bienvenue is actually a bit lower in acidity.) This is like a liquid confection and should be terrific young and with bottle age. These are very old vines:Girardin relies on repiquage, replanting individual vines as they fail.
Allen Meadows, Burghound 93
A background touch of wood influence that is more toast than spice or vanilla highlights wonderfully fresh, elegant and high-toned white flower and exotic fruit aromas and this exotic aspect continues onto the succulent, round and full-bodied flavors that culminate in a punchy, intense and driving finish that is quite dry and contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the mid-palate. This is a classic Bātard and is robust and seriously intense if not exactly a model of finesse but this is a nit and nothing more.
