This comment appeared on Mark Squire's Bulletin Board
recently and it spelled to the letter what we have been preaching for the
last six months. Our advise, to any collector/consumer with disposable
income, is to seriously look at the following wines to purchase over the
next few weeks because these are the ones that will be much harder to
find at good prices.
Robert Parker, April 14th 2006..."Prices will be very high for the 2005
firsts($5,000+ in USA dollars,Petrus and Ausone probably pushing
$7500-10,000 by year end)...and smart money will go back and re-
examine 2003,2000,1996,1995,and 1990"

CHATEAU GRUAUD LAROSE 1990
|
Stock: 7275
The 1990 is one of the greatest wines ever produced at this famous chateau along with the 1961, 1982, 1986 and 2000. This perfect stock is directly from the chateau in original wooden cases.
"This wine continues to get better and better and is certainly one of the great successes in what is a profound vintage for Bordeaux. While the wine still tastes young, it is already complex, with so much sweet tannin and lavish fruit that it is impossible to resist, even though it probably will not hit its plateau of maturity for another 5-6 years. A stunning nose of licorice, earth, cedar, provencal herbs, black currants, asphalt, and cherries soars from the glass. Full-bodied, opulent, with fabulous concentration, a seamless texture, and ramarkable stuffing and power, this low acid, thick, almost viscous wine can be drunk now or cellared for at least another two decades. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020. Last tasted, 9/02" 96 points Robert Parker
