Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 1, 2017 - The bouquet is better developed and more interesting than that of the 2000 Gruaud Larose, but that still does not yet make it the stuff of dreams. Nice, but you won't get lost in it. The impression on the palate is satiny smooth elegance so clean as it slips towards the throat that if it were not for the discreet reminder of Cabernet and Merlot one would think it was burgundy. The palate is not nearly as complex as that of 2000 Gruaud Larose, nor as powerful, but the satiny elegance is seductive. Did I say it was drinking beautifully now, fully open for business? And it has the balance easily to go another decade.
