Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1988
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Tasting note: Dark plum/garnet, with a powerful nose of licorice, roasted meats, smoke, and sweet berry and black currant flavors, this medium-bodied, relatively austere but robust and concentrated Gruaud-Larose still seems like a young wine, and possibly will be longer-lived than its more renowned sibling, the 1989. There is an earthiness and underlying streak of herbaceousness, but there is plenty of depth, concentration, and power to this somewhat burly Gruaud-Larose. RObert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 4th Edition # B5 (Jan 2003)
