Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru Classe

Gruaud Larose 2012

Gruaud Larose

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 93.0

A 2ème Cru Classé, Château Gruaud-Larose is famous for producing one of Saint-Julien’s most full-bodied wines. Highly tannic in its youth, this is a wine that fully opens-up and blossoms with age, to form an abundant blend of rich black fruits, cedar and liquorice flavours. The estate’s 80 hectares of vineyard comprise a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (c.65%), Merlot (c.25%), Cabernet Franc (c.8%) and Petit Verdot (c.2%). Based in Saint-Julien, the terroir benefits from dry soil and a warm climate from the July to September period. To Gruaud Larose, following organic and biodynamic agricultural practices is essential in assuring that their vines continue to thrive.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

A nice, earthy, black fruited, spicy and meaty 2012 Gruaud Larose, with medium body, excellent depth, chunky roasted herb and aged beef notes, this wine finishes authoritatively and the tannins are reasonably ripe. Give it another 3-5 years cellaring and drink it over the following 15 or so years.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Deep garnet in color, the 2012 Gruaud Larose needs a bit of shaking to wake up notes of plum pudding, raisin cake, and dried mulberries plus wafts of tobacco leaf, new leather, and rusty nails. The medium-bodied palate is rugged, chewy, and a little rustic, with soft acidity and a spicy lift on the finish.
