Jeannie Cho Lee December - 2012
Jeannie Cho Lee
A beautiful, medium bodied red Bordeaux still in its prime even in a half bottle format. Wine has notes of mushrooms, leather, earth, sweet spices and supple, velvety tannins. Compared to a full 750ml bottle, this half bottle of Gruaud Larose is more evolved and even more enjoyable. This is a bottle acquired at least 10 years ago from auction in the US and it was originally imported by Chateau & Estates. The wine is in great condition.

This tight and powerful red has lots of tannin and fruit concentration. Full-bodied, with lovely violet and berry aromas and flavors. Built for aging.--1988 Bordeaux horizontal.

Bordeaux red color. Dark. Intense. Slightly evolved. Nose of medium intensity. Initially animal, the wine evolves towards wood and sage aromas. When swirled, fruit and an impression of power emerge. Soft and subtle attack. The wine develops with a round structure, quite rich and aromatic in the mid-palate. All the nose is found here with a slight lack of fresh fruit. The tannin is well balanced but nevertheless firm with pronounced extraction, somewhat rustic. Warm note on the finish.

 Tasted at The Ledbury Gruaud Larose lunch, the 1988 is a commendable wine from the estate. It takes time to unfurl on the nose, so afford bottles say one-hour of decanting. It eventually offers dusty red fruit, fireside hearth and just a soupcon of cherry liqueur that disappears and is replaced by truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of hardness on the entry. Certainly, in keeping with the vintage it is more austere than the 1989, but it has a lovely tobacco-infused finish that shows good length, if not astounding complexity. Very fine.
