    Elegant nose. Medium tannins, acidic, medium bodied. Not very ripe - slightly green, which I personally enjoy. Food wine, ready to drink, elegant. $25

  • 2005 Château Gruaud Larose 88 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien

    Oaky nose, with graphite. Riper. This is still boring red fruits right now. It's way too young and needs more time to develop secondary flavors before it becomes interesting, but it should have enough stuffing to get to the finish line. $60
