Château Gruaud Larose 2018 Saint-Julien - Grand Cru Classé
(95 - 97)/100 Parker
Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown the 23rd Apr 2019 : "The 2018 Gruaud Larose is blended of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, with a pH of 3.88 and 14.2% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with bold black cherries, mulberries, plum preserves and blackcurrant cordial scents with hints of menthol, lilacs, licorice and cloves plus wafts of fallen leaves and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied with a taut core of ripe, densely packed, muscular fruit, it has a firm line of ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. Very exotic Gruaud !"
Keeping potential : To keep in cellar. Potential of guard of several decades.
