Gruaud Larose 2007
CRITIC REVIEWS
James Button
I find Gruaud Larose always make a more savoury, traditional style of Bordeaux than many. Elegant rather than muscular, this displays leather and black fruit on the nose. The palate is still fairly tight, with fine-grained tannins framing harmonious flavours of blackcurrant, sweet spices and tobacco. 2007 was an earlier drinking vintage that has worked well for this wine. It makes for delicious drinking now but still has time on its side. Worth decanting for an hour before serving.
Neal Martin
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Gruaud Larose has a soft and slightly muffled bouquet, perhaps just with a touch of brettanomyces that shaves away some of the delineation. After time, there are scents of clove and scorched earth. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, modest dark berry fruit laced with cold tea and white pepper, yet it pulls up rather short on the finish and leaves you wanting more. Tasted February 2017.
