Notable for its long Indian summer, the 2014 vintage is often overlooked in Bordeaux yet produced wonderfully classic wines with excellent balance and potential longevity. That is certainly true of this release from esteemed St-Julien Second Growth, Château Gruaud Larose. A blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, it is charming, fresh and precise, with hallmark notes of blackberry, cassis, cedar, bay leaf and woody spices.

The 2014 Gruaud Larose marks the first step in the right direction, with much more freshness on the nose than previous vintages: blackberry, melted tar and cedar. There is simply a greater sense of purpose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp and sculpted, less rustic than before. I suspect this has much more longevity than the 2011 or 2012, with more grip and backbone evident on the finish. Very fine. Tasted at the Gruaud Larose vertical at the château in February 2023 and blind at the Southwold tasting in February 2024. Neal Martin27th March 2024

Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2014 Gruaud Larose features delicate notes of crushed rocks and forest floor over a core of blackcurrant preserves and Christmas cake with a touch of cigar box. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled with a lively backbone and fine-grained tannins, finishing on a lingering minerally note.Lisa Perrotti-Brown5th March 2024
