Like Gruaud Larosse they made great wine in the 82 & 86 vintage. This had black fruit, cassis, earth, graphite, spice box, cedar & tobacco leaf. — 9 days ago

A few fun 4th Friday wines from tonight.

I’ll be honest...this was very similar to the ‘09 Gruaud Larosse it shared the table with. Nice compliment. These Elivette’s have so much structure and can age for a good while, and while I’m sure this vintage is no different, it seemed much more approachable at a young age than previous vintages. Aromatically it shows potpourri, brambly fruits, some fig, and only a hint of leather. Dark core that is fairly soft, with blue and black fruits, pencil shavings, baked plum, dark chocolate and a very lengthy finish. Lots to like here. — 3 years ago

Soft, trim and supple. A fun Claret wine. Slightly bricked edge, deep crimson color. Muted palate that shows it’s in a closed session. Fruit may be overtaking by tannins. Not sure time helps. Drink soon. — 4 years ago
