2020 Chateau Gruaud Larose - Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé - 3 Bottles (0.75L)

Elegant yet driven with gentle power, nothing goes overboard or tries too hard. This takes a beating, then comes on strong - obvious spice and pulp, full of raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant pills, fennel, hawthorn and licorice. The tannins build up on the palate and press in the final moments. Winemaker Virginie Salette from 2017. A yield of 32hl/ha. Vinify at around 22-23°C, so an extremely low and slow extraction. The harvest took place between September 14 and 29. A St-Julien with a big shoulder, but with a wide range of flavors. The bottles are kept in cellar We only deliver to the EU.
