TN: 2005 Vincent Girardin Bourgogne Cuvee Saint-Vincent (France, Burgundy, Bourgogne)

Ahh much better, this bottle was not corked. In retrospect the last bottle was clearly damaged (seepage). "Audozed" for 8 hours, decanted for one. The nose on this wine, manure dark fruits and cherries. It smells delicious. On the palate more dark fruits, excellent acidity, and intergrated/hidden tannins. More barnyard, delicious and mouth-watering. Short and simple finish. This is a solid QPR, even at $28.00 CDN. 90 pts. This will develop for years to come. I will buy more.

  Hello farmyard $hit-pile!! Having said that, this is one of the most delicious feces scents on a wine I have ever had. On day one this was not giving too much, and was very closed and muted. Day 2 (tonight) this is the Burgundy bomb! Everything I love about Burgundy in a wine. The palate is raspberry, more manure, and balanced acidity. The finish is at least 10 seconds in length and mouth watering. This wine needs proper decanting, or pour a glass off on day one and put the cork in the bottle until the next day. Yummy, wish I would have bought more. Only 2 bottles left. (91 pts.)
