Osoyoos Larose Grand Vin Magnum
$194.99
88 points from Gismondionwine.com for the 2010 vintage - and this is an impressive magnum format! The review: ""Le Grand Vin", Osoyoos Larose has had a lot to live up to over the years since it burst onto the BC scene with great fanfare in 2001. A partnership between Constellation Brands and Bordeaux's Groupe Taillan, owner of Chateau Giraud Larose, this wine has increasingly grown into its big shoes over the past decade. Concentrated and compact, this is a hard fisted wine for future consumption. Gravels, broken stone, dried earth and faint black cherry aromas open. Bitter cherry, thorns, iron, bitter black plum dominate." Buy a bottle and cellar it for a year or two, or decant and drink now with slow-roasted lamb, roast beef or steak.
