FINE SELECTION FROM A PRIVATE SWISS CELLAR
Wines were stocked in perfect conditions and are offered in original wooden cases, unless stated otherwise.
Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1986
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Levels: eleven base of neck or better, one top-shoulder
Tasting note: Still tasting as if it were only 7-8 years of age, the dense, garnet/purple-colored 1986 Gruaud-Larose is evolving at a glacier pace. The wine still has mammoth structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted, with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed. Decanting of one to two hours in advance seems to soften it a bit, but this is a wine that seems to be almost immortal in terms of its longevity. It is a great Medoc classic, and certainly one of the most magnificent Gruaud-Larose ever made. Robert Parker, Jan 2003
