Château Gruaud Larose 2020

Red wine | 2nd Cru Classé, Saint-Julien AC

Gruaud Larose has always sought to promote the place of man in the design of his wine. Both in action and in the link he establishes with his vineyard. The vine, the grapes are nothing without man, without the makers of the wines, from the most modest to the most powerful.

    Subtle, inviting bouquet. Notes of blueberries, blackberries followed by spicy nuances and a little graphite. On the palate the wine has density while boasting a slender side. Its tannins are elegant and slowly reveal themselves to finally display their power at the end of the palate. The acid structure perfectly ensures the aftertaste and gives temperament while being matched by the fullness of the tannins. Fruity and refreshing finish. 2027-2050 94-96/100

    Intense, purple and beautiful color. Very aromatic, fine, fruity, pure and complex nose. Delicate on the palate, meticulous in its texture, refined to the touch, accompanied by bright fruitiness, the wine grows on the finish, long, sappy and noble.

    Elegant yet driven with gentle power, nothing going overboard or trying too hard. This takes a beat, then it comes strongly - obvious spice and flesh, full of raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant pastille, fennel, hawthorn and liquorice. The tannins build up through the palate and press in the final moments. Virginie Salette winemaker since 2017. A yield of 32hl/ha. Vinify at around 22-23°C, so an extremely low and slow extraction. Harvest was from September 14 to 29. A big shouldered St-Julien but with a wide nuance of flavors. Drinking Window 2028 - 2042. - Jane Anson.
