Description

Ch. Gruaud Larose is one of St. Julien’s most famous and long-lived Second Growth wines. This is a quintessential St. Julien, which combines the power of Pauillac wine, the Cabernet perfume of St Estephe, and the elegance of Margaux. The 2000 Gruaud Larose is drinking well now but will continue to benefit from aging in the cellar for another decade or two at least.

Review

A very strong effort for Gruaud Larose, possibly eclipsed by what they have done in 2009, this is a pure, full-bodied Gruaud Larose with plenty of new saddle leather, cedar wood, black currants, cherries, licorice, and Provencal herbs. Spicy, earthy, full-bodied, and rich, it has hit its plateau of full maturity, where it should stay for another 20 or more years.
