The second email will confirm that we have enough wine to fill your order. Due to the high volume of sales there are times when the wine has sold out, but our system is still updating and shows it as available. We're sorry for any inconvenience and will do what we can to fill your order!

Thanks to your feedback we might bring back some of Cinderella Wine's popular previous offers. If a wine makes another appearance here, this newer offer will always be slightly higher than the original one. Offers that are on the site on Friday through Sunday will be shipped on Monday.

More Ratings:

94 Pts Wine Enthusiast	"What a perfumed, elegant, structured wine, with all the elements of fruit, wood, tannins just in the right place. It shows great tannins, powerful black and red berry fruits, denseness, and a classic, fresh aftertaste. -R.V." (12/07)

92 Pts Wine Spectator	"This shows a rich and dense nose of blackberry, coffee and smoke. Full-bodied, with soft and round tannins and a long, smoky finish. Very fresh and velvety. GL is really doing excellent things these days, even in less-than-easy vintages. Best after 2008. 2,455 cases made. -JS" (03/04)

91 Pts Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media	"(a blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot): Ruby with a pale rim. Rich, ripe nose offers red cherry, plum, spice, mineral and violet aromas. Dense, chewy and fresh, with precise, intense red and black fruit flavors complicated by a hint of licorice. Features a persistent saline note on the rich, long, slightly chunky finish. A very successful Gruaud." (04/13)
90 Pts Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	"Surprisingly accessible as well as supple, this 2001 St.-Julien reveals a deep plum/purple color along with a rich bouquet of smoke, roasted vegetables, black currants, plums, licorice, and Asian spices. Velvety-textured and medium-bodied, with loads of fruit, and a plump, expansive, plush texture, this is an atypically forward Gruaud Larose to drink now and over the next 12-14 years." (06/04)

Description:

"Mid crimson. Just slightly animal on the nose. Supple well-mannered palate entry. Then dry. Less luscious than Lagrange, and less luscious than many vintages of Gruaud, but it may well last longer. Drink 2012 to 2030. (JR)" (03/11) 17 out of 20 points, Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages

WINE:
"Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Merlot 31%, Cabernet Franc 7,5%, Petit Verdot 3%, Malbec 1,5%. Clear. Garnet red. The nose is fresh, subtle combining red fruit, prune Ã lâeau de vie, dry fig and cocoa. Frank, rich attack, good body with fatness. The tannins are still present but are beginning to mature giving place to roundness and finesse. Beautiful length. Enjoy it now or lay it down. (2011)" -WInery

VINTAGE:
"Atypical vintage: mild winter, hot spring, summer with low temperatures. Water stress in the vines early September followed by warm and dry weather. These final favourable circumstances allowed a harvest with an excellent level of maturity and perfect sanitary conditions." -Winery
