Henri Giraud, Coteaux Champenois Blanc Vintage:2015NA

Nicely musky

This arguably possesses the most complex nose in the range with its intensely floral aromas of various dark berries

However it is noticeable on the dense

the same cant be said for the 1996 Krug

The 2017 vintage has been responsible for a wide variation in quality in Cabernet Sauvignons across the region

This vintage is perhaps shapelier and more saturated with rose

Very generous wood stops just short of dominating the underlying red and dark berry fruit that is liberally laced with pretty floral influences

Ripe and layered aromas include those of red and black cherry

power and structure if not quite the same level of finesse

Dense and lush on the palate

There is plenty of volume and underlying tension supporting the delicious and intense medium weight flavors that evidence ample minerality on the textured and well-balanced finale

This has attractive fresh flowers and blueberries
