Tasting notes

This was an intense, concentrated and tannic Gruaud with very fine fruit. Deep brick-red colour. Great and intense nose. Mocca, stable, fine floral high notes. Still typical Bordeaux-nose. Fullbodied and concentrated Gruaud in the mouth. Some sweetness in the fruit. Mocca and stable. Still transparent and floral notes. Fine depth. Medium acidity and a quite tannic finish. A touch hard. But fine overall balance. Perhaps the best Gruaud I have tasted.
