Sarget de Gruaud Larose 2019 – Saint-Julien

The nose is fruity and gourmet. There are lovely notes of fleshy strawberry, red berries and, more slightly, grey pepper, combined with fine touches of crushed blackberry and delicate hints of vanilla and cardamom. The palate is fresh, mineral, balanced and offers elegance, a nice gourmandise, a finely unctuous matter, a fine straightness as well as a nice salinity/iodine. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy wild strawberry, crushed redcurrant and, more slightly, fresh meadow flowers combined with touches of crushed blackberry as well as hints of vanilla, cardamom and a subtle touch of pepper. The tannins are precise and racy. Good length. Nice sapidity. Good persistence.
