1999 Gruaud-Larose - Saint-Julien,
Bordeaux, France
1999 Gruaud Larose : has a
deep red hue. Lots of blackberry fruit and
harsh tannins. Very
ripe
and over
extracted. Globally lacks of harmony. Not my kind of Gruaud
Larose 86/100

Petit Verdot
2000
Gruaud Larose : totally expressive
nose: blackcurrant, spices (red pepper), leather, balsamic hints. The
attack
of this 2000 Gruaud Larose is very expressive, notably spicy with
noticeable
tannin. On the
midpalate, I
feel a curious impression of macerated fruit as if they were a little over-extracted.
This 2000 Gruaud-Larose has an astonishing vivid power which will need
a few more years of patience. 89/100
