but you have to guide yourself by the palate

there is very good freshness and verve to the nicely delineated medium weight flavors that are also very dry and slightly austere

the 2010 vintage definitely requires a healthy period of aging patience partly because of this soft-handed winemaking approach

Domaine, Latour Giraud other_regions 500 cases imported(from 35+ year old vines in Charmes Dessus). Pungent aromas of wood, reduction and a hint of phenolic character render the nose unreadable today. More interesting are the dense, powerful and almost painfully intense larger scaled flavors that also soak the palate with sappy dry extract that does an excellent job of buffering the firm acid spine shaping the bone dry, moderately austere and impressively long finale. This is extremely promising.
