TASTING NOTES

"Fully mature, the dark garnet-colored 1985 exhibits notes of tapenade, earth, sweet berry and black currant fruit, and possibly a hint of black truffles. The wine is lush, medium to full-bodied, and fleshy, with no hard edges. Sweet fruit, plenty of glycerin, and a very seductive style make for a very sumptuous, complex, fully mature Gruaud-Larose. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted, 8/02." Robert M. Parker, Jr., Bordeaux, 4th Edition (2003)
