Tasting Notes
The significant rainfall during late September clearly had a noticeable impact on this 2006, which perhaps lacks ????selection?? as the French say. There is an element of dilution in this cuvee, and I would never recognize it as a Gruaud Larose except for the label. Dark ruby with a light pink rim, the wine is medium-bodied, soft, and round revealing roasted herb, sweet cherry, and currant flavors. For its prestige and pedigree, it is one of the most disappointing St.-Juliens I tasted.(Wine Advocate # 181 Feb 2009)
