Chevalier de Gruaud Saint-Julien - 1999(W-103)

Chevalier de Gruaud Saint-Julien
Big Powerful

Winery Story

A fabulous second wine from Gruaud Larose. In 1757, Mr. Gruaud grouped a number of small vineyards together to form one large one, under his... (more...) name. Eventually, a descendant of the first owner took over the property. His name was Larose, and he immediately linked his name to the estate. Gruaud Larose is one of St. Julien's most popular wines. Its large production has a quality that is consistently very high.

Tasting Note

This is a Cabernet blend from Bordeaux's left bank featuring an earthy bouquet of leather, coffee blackberries and spice with more tart, pep... (more...)pery, bright fruit flavors and gritty tannins.

Heavy - too earthy. Gritty tannins - rose didn't like.

A very nice, very typical Bordeaux. There is a bouquet of plum, black cherry and slight oak with additional flavors on the palate of cedar, mint and vanilla. After breathing for an hour or so in a glass, some earthy undertones begin to come through - including a tanned leather flavor. Left some for the next day and the nose really opened up. Clearly some notes of Brett on this one.
