Sarget de Gruaud Larose is the second wine of Ch. Gruaud Larose, the famous second growth from the St. Julien appellation. Second wines of top Bordeaux estates offer wine drinkers the opportunity to get something of the taste of first wines that are sadly very often out of the reach of the everyday vinophile. This vintage is showing very intense red and black fruits on the nose, a very juicy palate, a smooth, supple texture along with fresh acidity. It is ripe and rounded with a nice spiciness to the long finish.
Jancis Robinson wrote:
Dark crimson. Interesting leathery, almost Syrah-like notes. Very neat and satisfying. Savoury. Just a little austere on the finish. Drying tannins on the end. Very sweet.
Although this wine is drinking very nicely now it will keep for several years yet and there is absolutely no rush to drink up whatsoever.
