Camille Giroud 2021 Mercurey "Clos Voyens" 1er Cru 750ml

A slightly more elegant and riper nose offers up notes of plum, dark cherry and newly turned earth. Here too the medium weight flavors possess an appealing texture that is at once caressing but punchy, all wrapped in a lingering, complex and balanced finish that is a bit less rustic. This too is quite good.
