LEGENDARY CLARET
Property of a Mid-Atlantic Gentleman
This collection was assembled over the course of 20 years by a gentleman who had a true passion for tasting the pleasures of the greatest wines produced across the globe. He had a special place for Bordeaux, which is why there is such a range of vintages across the left and right bank. Unfortunately, he is moving and could not take these treasures with him, so he wanted other wine lovers to have a chance to tastes and enjoy these remarkable wines.
All wines were removed from a professional temperature and humidity controlled unit.
Château Gruaud Larose--Vintage 1945
Saint Julien, 2me cru classé
Level: into neck
"The 1945 is a remarkably young, backward, massive Gruaud-Larose, similar in style to the 1961, 1975, 1982, and 1986. Still opaque, garnet/black-colored, with a tight but promising nose of licorice, black fruits, and herbs, this full-bodied, meaty, chewy wine exhibits huge reserves of fruit, as well as a spicy, powerful, tannic finish. While it can be drunk now (I would suggest decanting of at least an hour), it is another immortal 1945 that will last for another 20-30 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #95 (Oct 1994)
