Tasting Notes
Real connoisseurs drink Bordeaux with fondue. Here fruity specimens fit as well as more grown-up types. The Gruaud-Larose is underpinned with good dark fruit and shows delicate notes of maturity. The palate is juicy, full-bodied, with dark berry fruit with firm tannin structure and animating freshness on the finish.
