Camille Giroud other_regions_italy dry year really dials thingsThere is a discreet hint of mineral reduction to the citrus and markedly floral suffused aromas that also display a petrol nuance. There is excellent intensity to the rich, round and succulent medium bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the sappy, clean, dry and focused finale. This attractively poised and balanced effort could use better depth but the underlying material appears to be present for that to occur if given a chance.
