How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inChâteau Gruaud-Larose is a wine estate in Bordeaux and a second cru from the 1855 Bordeaux wine classification system. It is located in the village of Saint-Julien. For a long time it was one of the most important châteaux in the village, only overshadowed by the - originally undivided - Léoville. This cru, located behind Ch. Branaire Ducru and next to Ch. Lagrange, benefits from a magnificent terroir of stony deposits (from the Gironde, 700,000 years ago). It has belonged to the Merlaut family since 1997 and in recent years the wines have been awarded very high ratings without exception and their Gruaud-Larose is above all a super feminine, refined and delicate, but beautifully concentrated St. Julien. The vineyards are (or are in conversion) to organic viticulture.
The Gruaud Larose is a blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and approx. 25% Merlot supplemented with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. In the glass it has a dark red colour with a purple hue. On the nose the wine is already expressive so that promises something for the future. We smell aromas of ripe cherries, mulberries, plum preserves, blackcurrant with hints of menthol, lilacs, liquorice and cloves plus gusts of fallen leaves and tilled soil. Medium to full bodied with a tight core of ripe, densely packed, muscular fruit, a firm line of ripe, grainy tannins and enough freshness, with a long and spicy finish. Suckling (96/100) ends his review with: "It's lovely to taste now and will age beautifully. Really seductive. Hard not to drink now but one for the cellar. Best to try after 2025"

In het glas toont deze Saint-Julien rijp donker fruit van kers, pruim en zwarte bes met subtiele menthol-, zoethout- en kruidnageltonen, een medium-tot-full body, fluwelige maar rijpe tannines en een frisse, lange en kruidige afdronk. Daardoor snijdt hij prachtig door het vet en de umami van rundvlees, lam en wild en versterkt hij de rijke smaken van stoofschotels en rijpe kazen; hij werkt bijzonder goed bij gegrild of geroosterd vlees met rozemarijn en knoflook, langzaam gestoofde gerechten zoals een klassieke boeuf bourguignon of lamsstoof met kruiden, en bij stevige, gerijpte kazen zoals oude cheddar of comté.
