Bordeaux | 10 | 94+ (JD) | $458.00 | |||||
Jeb Dunnuck (94+)Made by the talented Philippe Cuvelier and coming from a tiny vineyard just beside Clos Fourtet, on the upper plateau, the 2019 Château Les Grandes Murailles has a more restrained, elegant style compared to the more exuberant 2018, yet it's still concentrated, rich, and impressive. Red and black currants, black cherries, chocolate, and leafy tobacco-like notes emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with beautifully polished tannins and a balanced, classic, age-worthy style. Give it 4-5 years and it's going to cruise over the following two decades. This is a hidden gem as always and well worth seeking out! |
