Tasting note
1999年的拉路斯/金玫瑰展現了聖朱利安葡萄酒的優雅與複雜性。這款佳釀以其尊貴的風範和成熟的酸度達到了和諧的平衡，帶來了濃郁的黑醋栗、雪松和香料風味，並伴隨著巧克力般的果味。隨著時間的沉澱，單寧已經變得柔和，使得酒體圓潤，餘韻悠長。這款中等酒體、單寧適中的葡萄酒，是尋找成熟波爾多經典風味愛好者的理想選擇。
The 1999 Chateau Gruaud-Larose is a testament to the elegance and complexity of Saint-Julien wines. This vintage exudes a dignified grace, harmoniously balancing ripeness with a refreshing acidity. It presents a substantial palate with deep flavors of black currant, cedar, and a medley of spices, complemented by a chocolatey fruit character. The tannins have mellowed beautifully, contributing to a smooth and enduring finish. With its medium body and moderate tannin structure, this wine is an excellent choice for those seeking a mature Bordeaux with a classic profile.
