Second wine of Gruaud-Larose. In a rather powerful and tight register, Sarget is a serious and convincing Saint-Julien, with substance, at its best after 5 to 7 years of ageing.
Bettane & Desseauve : 90/100 « Délicat, tout en finesse aromatique et souplesse tannique, sans creux en milieu de bouche, la parfaite carafe pour faire connaissance avec le type Saint-Julien. »
Le Point : 15.5/20 « Souple, rond, gourmand, droit, pas de creux, savoureux, tanins glissants très agréables. »
Quarin : 88/100 « Vin coloré, au nez aromatique et fruité, à la bouche tendre, savoureuse, pulpeuse, évoluant sans angle tannique. Longueur normale. »
Galloni : 90-92/100 « The 2023 Sarget de Gruaud Larose is a pretty serious second wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, spice and mocha are all front and center. The presence of the fruit here is alluring. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together in style. I very much like the depth here. »
Martin : 86-88/100 « The nose is quite "punchy" for a Deuxième Vin, with plenty of black cherries, iodine and light cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured, slightly chewy entry, licorice-infused black fruit and firm grip; there is a bullishness about this Sarget, so afford it a couple of years before pulling the cork. »More- To keep or to drink:
