THIS LOVELY LOT OF FAVORITE WINES IS

OFFERED BY THREE MEMBERS OF THE LYRIC

WOMEN’S BOARD!

hâteau Gruaud Larose

dates back to 1725, this winery is

among the most renowned of Bordeaux. That’s why we

invited David Launay to be our Honored Guest! This 82-hectare

vineyard sits atop ancient Garonne gravel. In the

2000

vintage,

you’ll find notes of new saddle leather, cedar wood, black

currants, cherries, licorice, and Provencal herbs. A fantastic effort

which is beautiful in the glass and on the palate.

Located in the North Western area of Saint-Émilion, on the edge

of Pomerol,

Château Cheval Blanc

is distinguished by a rocky and

sandy ground situated on a fertile terrace, instead of a limestone

hill. This

1986

double magnum carries a complex nose, marked by

the finesses of Cabernet Franc. Notes of ink, fruit, mint leaf, and

tobacco bring out a supple mouthfeel with fresh tannins. Aging

has benefitted this wine, and will continue to do so.

Generously contributed by

Mrs. Richard W. Durkes,

Mrs. Christopher C. Milliken and

Mrs. Theodore D. Tieken
