Château Gruaud Larose - 2003 - Château Gruaud-Larose
Ref: A037803
2eme Cru Classé St. Julien

Another deep-coloured St. Julien with an expansive blacberries and vanilla ice-cream nose with dense, powerful compacted fruit and sensual, silky tannins. Superbly balanced in terms of acidity and tannins and a long complex finish. Drink 2010 to 2025.

In 1757, Mr. Gruaud grouped a number of small vineyards together to form one large one, under his name. Eventually a descendant of the first owner took over the property. His name was Larose, and he immediately linked his name to the estate, bought by Mr. Desire Cordier in 1915. Managed under the direction of Mr. Georges Pauly, the highly respected director of Domaines Cordier, Gruaud Larose is one of St. Julien's most popular wines. Its large production has a quality that is consistently very high. One of the most continuously successful wines produced in Bordeaux, regardless of vintage.

The wines are full bodied, but elegant with lots of fruit when young. They age very well and develop all the characteristics of a great Bordeaux, tending to be smoother and more elegant than many contempories. The 1997 is
a delicious wine characterized by elegant and generous aromas of black fruits, smoke and herbs.
