The millennium vintage saw an October harvest of exceptionally healthy grapes, producing an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot dominant blend. A classified St-Julien Second Growth, Château Gruaud Larose is a classic old-school Bordeaux. Offering immensely complex notes of black fruits, cedar, leather and herbs. Here is a wine in its prime, to be savoured.
The 2000 Gruaud Larose has a perfumed and floral nose, touches of leather, wild mint and just a little Brettanomyces in the background, though not as much as the 1990 tasted alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresher than the 1990, grainy tannins with touches of pencil lead and allspice. A little espresso and leather surface towards the slightly loose-knit finish suggests it will not improve with further bottle age. Tasted at the Gruaud Larose vertical at the château in February 2023. - Neil Martin
