Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 29 Dec 22
The 2017 Gruaud Larose has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It tumbles from the glass with expressive scents of black raspberries, Morello cherries, and cassis, plus suggestions of pencil lead, red roses, and damp soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is juicy and expressive with a fine-grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing with a spicy lift.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2044

Vinous Neal Martin - 27 Mar 24
The 2017 Gruaud Larose just needs a little more precision and detail on the nose, but it develops attractive cigar box and pressed flower scents with aeration. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is well-balanced with fine tannins, strict and linear. It's not a multi-dimensional Saint-Julien by any means, but it is sapid with a spicier finish than I recall. Perhaps it just lacks that peacock’s tail on the finish? Otherwise, this is perfectly fine. Tasted at the Gruaud Larose vertical at the château in February 2023.

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the Médoc, is famed for its balanced red wines, blending the power of Pauillac with the elegance of Margaux. Typically made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, these wines offer rich fruit flavours, refined tannins, and vibrant acidity. Known for their finesse, complexity, and long ageing potential, top producers include Château Léoville-Las Cases, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, and Château Gruaud-Larose. Saint-Julien wines are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
