Chateau Gruaud-Larose 2005 Saint-Julien France Black Currant Notes Bodegas Avancia A leading light in BeauneThis tastes of great Cabernet Sauvignon, with its black currant, cedar and herbs and fresh, juicy acidity. It is as fresh as it is rich, but it has a structure of dense tannins that balances the wine. This is one of the best wines from Gruaud Larose for several years. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast Direct Import Please allow 3 weeks for delivery
