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. If you like old school, traditional Saint Julien then this will suit you down to the ground." Vinous, 2018
