Gruaud Larose other_regions There is a velvety texture

There is a velvety texture to the delicious and very round medium-bodied flavors that possess good richness but also just a trace of bitterness on the otherwise impressively persistent finish

but this is turning out to be a very good wine that should offer pleasure for at least another 25-30 years

this is youthful

Almost sticky in feel

Beautiful aromas of dark fruits and minerals

Gruaud Larose other_regions There is a velvety textureThere's nice richness here, with velvety textured blackberry, fig and boysenberry confiture flavors rolling through, edged by a graphite note that slowly takes over on the finish. This has serious spine, with tar and ganache echoes hanging in the background, boding well for continued development.Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015).
