Pierre Girardin other_regions_italy intense and quite sleek large-scaled(100% whole clusters). A mentholated top note is present on the pretty aromas of rose petal, peony, anise and wisps of both red and dark currant. The sleek, intense and beautifully delineated mineral driven flavors are less rich but more powerful and more complex on the strikingly long finish. The texture, while less enveloping, is more sophisticated and overall, I very much like the sense of proportion and harmony.
