Château Gruaud Larose 2006
Saint-Julien - Second Grand Cru Rated
88/100 Parker
Cellaring: Drink now or cellar until 2026
Tasted by Neal Martin on 30 May 2016 : "Tasted at the annual Bordeaux Index 10 Years After tasting in London. The 2006 Château Gruaud Larose can be a divisive wine. At ten years old, it shows some inertia on the nose: sultry blackberry and heather fruit, nicely defined but lacking what I call "flow. "The palate is medium-bodied, with dusty tannins, rather rustic red fruits mixed with sandalwood and tar, fading a bit towards the soft, easygoing finish. Not bad...but I've come across a lot of superior wines from this St Julien estate."
