more austere and slightly rustic finale

The palate is medium-bodied with grippy dark plum and blackberry fruit laced with graphite and tobacco

round and plump easy-going flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced finale

a little à la Vosne-Romanée

Domaine, Latour Giraud Vintage:2021 more austere and slightly rustic(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.
