Noteringar:
2008-01-12 10:18 WS: Well done. Good, dark color to this '99, with lots of plummy, berry and cassis character. It's medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Best after 2004. 21,500 cases made. –JS
2008-01-12 10:20 WA: An exotic perfume of tapenade, new saddle leather, damp earth, black currants, cherries, and smoke jumps from the glass of this impressive, powerful 1999. The wine is medium-bodied with moderate tannin. This dark plum/ruby-colored St.-Julien requires another 2-3 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.
2008-01-12 10:25 IWC: By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #102, May/June 2002) (Chateau Gruaud Larose Saint Julien) Full medium ruby. Highly aromatic, expressive nose combines currant, espresso, saddle leather and roasted meat. Sweet, lush and smooth, but given definition by its vinosity. Not especially refined, but plummy and mouthfilling. Ripe tannins saturate the teeth and the sides of the mouth on the long finish. 89 points
