Château Gruaud Larose is a Second Growth property located southwest of the village of Beychevelle, within the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate was originally formed in 1757 by Joseph Gruaud and it is currently owned by the Merlaut family. This release is from the 1961 vintage, a truly legendary year in Bordeaux, with some of the best examples made in the 20th century. \"Dark ruby. Deep, brooding nose hints at dark plum, blackcurrant, coffee and lavender accented by cinnamon and nutmeg. Enters bright and fresh, then turns richer in the middle, with accessible plum, herb and coffee flavours persisting nicely on the peppery finish, which features chewy tannins. This is at once more herbal and more forward than the 1995. It`s also better than I remember it, and although still quite young it offers plenty of appeal. The wine`s harmonious acidity makes it seem lighter-bodied than it is. About 40% of the malolactic fermentation was carried out in barriques, compared to a normal one-third.\" Vinous, 2013","brand":"Chateau Gruaud Larose","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62412665815370,"sku":"HED85788","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED85788.jpg?v=1781892816"},{"product_id":"gruaud-larose-1988","title":"Gruaud Larose 1988","description":"Château Gruaud-Larose 1988 is a full-bodied, mature-vintage Bordeaux from the Second Growth Château Gruaud-Larose in St-Julien. The estate was originally formed in 1757 by Joseph Gruaud and it’s currently owned by the Merlaut family. The 1988 vintage from the estate was a dense, powerful wine from the off and clearly one for long cellaring. \"At 30-years of age it has moderate wide bricking on the rim though the core remains quite deep in colour. The bouquet is fully mature with scents of sage, liquorish and allspice permeating the dark berry fruit; fleeting glimpses of black tea and bay leaf surfacing with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a tang of soy and marmalade on the entry. It is nicely balanced; a little rustic in style yet displays admirable depth and more freshness than some of its peers on the Left Bank. There is just that residual tobacco note lingering on the finish.
