A classified St-Julien Second Growth, Château Gruaud Larose is a classic old-school Bordeaux. 1989 remains a stand-out vintage. The precocity in maturation and the richness of the grapes were exceptional, producing a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot dominant blend. Structured by refreshing acidity and fine-grained tannins. Sufficient black fresh fruit despite its maturity with hints of herbal complexity and savoury, tertiary notes. Ready for drinking.
- The 1989 Gruaud Larose is a vintage that I tasted regularly back in the day - it was reliably inconsistent, and you prayed for a good bottle. I bought this bottle with sound provenance…sadly, it was not a good bottle. It was not corked, but the fruit was definitely scalped on the nose, a little metallic. The palate is angular, and again, it feels, for want of a better word, lobotomized. Nobody drank more than a couple of sips out of curiosity. Caveat emptor. Tasted at the 1989 dinner at Piccolino in London.
