The 2002 Gruaud Larose has a straightforward tobacco and sous-bois scented bouquet that simply needs more fruit and more presence. Quite austere. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly coarse texture and fine acidity, but some rusticity towards the finish feels a bit shallow. Not bad, though the bottle encountered just a year earlier certainly showed better. Tasted at the Gruaud Larose vertical at the château in February 2023. Neal Martin27th March 2024

The 2002 Gruaud Larose is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Malbec. Deep garnet-brick in color, it charges out of the gate with bold expressions of plum preserves, redcurrant jelly, and sweaty leather leading to touches of iron ore and iodine with a touch of dried herbs. The light to medium-bodied palate is delicate and mature, with mineral and savory layers and a light chewiness to the finish. Drink up!Lisa Perrotti-Brown9th January 2024
