Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Feb 20
The 2017 Sarget de Gruaud Larose offers light brambly red fruit on the nose mixed with a touch of tobacco, though it is missing some intensity, feels a little loose-knit. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, an easy-drinking, pliant Second Wine that should be consumed over the next four to five years.

Saint-Julien wines are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
