Latour Giraud, Meursault Genevrieres other_regions_italy round and delicious middle weight

round and delicious middle weight flavors possess lovely complexity on the sappy and persistent finish

This is very ripe with its aromas of cooked plum

redcurrants and blackberry compote with touches of licorice

very old vines (80–90 years old) in a cool subzone around Ponferrada at around 800–900 m elevation on schist soils (cf the better-known clay and sandy sites found across most of Bierzo)

Latour Giraud, Meursault Genevrieres other_regions_italy round and delicious middle weight(from 40+ year old vines from a huge 2. 5 ha parcel in Genevrires Dessus). Firm reduction masks all the aromas except an interesting hint of exotic tea. There is again both good vibrancy and freshness to the finer still, but not denser, medium weight flavors that are almost delicate yet certainly dont lack for punch as the strikingly long finale is almost painfully intense. This is bone dry but not especially austere and overall, one very classy wine.
