Professional Review: The 2011 GR-174 was tasted from barrel and was due for bottling the following week. It has a more extravagant bouquet than the 2010 with kirsch, blood orange and blueberry. The pallet if full-bodied with a sweet entry. It is very extravagant with precocious red fruits and a smudge of alcohol towards the finish. It is a bit of a hedonist, but one that comes at a decent price.
My Review: This wine once again had a very fruity smell to it but couldn't taste much on the pallet. I could taste dark berries but nothing out of the ordinary. It was a little sharper than I had expected and felt very lite in texture. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
