Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1945
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Creased and worn capsule, cut to inspect cork. Bin-soiled label with slight damage to top right-hand corner. Level top-shoulder. In original wooden case with damaged lid
Tasting Note: At its best in the 1970s. But always tannic. Most recently, a sensational jeroboam, deep ruby, multi-dimensional, full of fruit but after 20 minutes drying and dying. Last tasted Sept 1998. At best **** M.B.
