Note di degustazione
A great moment to be drinking this wine, making the most of the truffle and tobacco fragrance, finely spun tannins, and the great whoosh of freshness. This is hugely appetising, mouth-watering, wild strawberries and blackberry fruits. An easy wine to underestimate, with it smoky sweetness and subtle pleasures, but it is full of life and smiles at you from the glass - although I don't suggest leaving it too long from this moment. 30% new oak, harvest Sepember 16 to October 8.

Lowkey, mellow nose that you have to slightly struggle to discern. But lovely balance on the palate. Great drinking now, even if there is no shortage of stodgy tannins on the finish. £40.35 Caves de Pyrène – I’d go for Sarget. (JR)
The 1997 Gruaud Larose is a soft, fleshy effort loaded with olive and licorice-tinged, black cherry and cassis fruit. Smoky, new saddle leather notes also emerge as the wine sits in the glass. Offering excellent richness, medium body, moderate weight, low acidity, and soft tannin, it will provide delicious as well as surprisingly complex, savory drinking for a decade.
