Vincent Girardin Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Burgundy, France, 2009, 750ml

Very much loaded with tart fruits- sour cherry, lively raspberry, and without a doubt sappy, this wine exhibits impressive power. It is currently showing well and nicely balanced but I think that ten more years might allow it to develop complexity and really strut its stuff. I opened it too soon assuming a skeptical attitude and while I’d rather drink it too young than too old, I think I underestimated it.
