Sarget de Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

I’ll take an order of 2021, please. Thanks.

Mid-weight, fresh, cranberry, orange peel and cloves. Very drinkable.

The second wine from a chateau I generally enjoy, stylistically. Popped and poured; consumed over a three day period. Cassis, tobacco, earth are there but none of the parts were really exciting. No tension. No oomph. It slowly unraveled over the three day period. Firmly in the category of “good” but there are better values especially over $30. Chateau Senejac from the same vintage delivers more quality and excitement for half the price.

Not mind blowing but quite good...About as good as you’re going to get for $35 Bordeaux

Drinkable, balanced, inoffensive; wouldn’t go out of way to get again but perfectly pleasant. Good match to a port reduction sauce

Great Bordeaux. Very smooth second growth. This was the 2014 vintage.

Quite good with steak @ BLT Tokyo.

Purple, opaque. Sweet, medicinal cherry honestly not super engaging.

Dry and oaky (no idea what that means)
