Community Tasting Note

-Tim- Likes this wine:

Friday, October 21, 2016 - From magnum with Doro and Henrik at the German North Sea coast.
Decanted for 3 hours, which is highly recommended. Paired with Raclette.

Parker wrote in 2015:
"The 2005 Gruaud Larose has a deep ruby/purple color, excellent concentration, and clean, pure black and red currant fruit, licorice and spice. It is medium to full-bodied, lush, and very soft and round. I’m surprised how drinkable it is already, although it is certainly capable of lasting 15 or more years." (90p)

I agree with Parker on the black currant fruits, licorice and spice. In addition, I noticed oak and leather characteristics and a long finish. Loved it!
