Wine Advocate Parker Barrel Sample consisting of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31.5% Merlot, and 1.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2017 The wine of Gruaud Larose has few tannins, is not rough, and combines delicate and balanced characteristics. In excellent years, it also takes ten years of aging to soften. The color is almost black, and the wine emits a strong red fruit aroma.
A deep and juicy red with currant and fresh herbs. Medium to full body, round tannins and a flavorful finish. Very good second wine. JS
Food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.
