Château Gruaud Larose – Saint-Julien – Red – 1990:
Château Gruaud Larose: The ‘King of Wines, Wine of Kings’
Château Gruaud Larose, a highly-regarded Second Growth in the 1855 Classification, stands as a powerhouse of the Saint-Julien appellation. Known for its imposing structure and extraordinary aging potential, this wine is a quintessential expression of the Médoc’s finest gravel terroir. It is a must-have for any serious collector.
Tasting Notes & Profile
Gruaud Larose’s Grand Vin is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend that delivers both muscle and finesse. Its complexity deepens dramatically with age:
- Color: A deep, opaque garnet that retains its intensity.
- Nose: Initial aromas of concentrated blackcurrant, cassis, and lead pencil. As it matures, it evolves into classic notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, cigar box, and forest floor.
- Palate: Full-bodied and rich, the wine features a massive yet perfectly balanced structure. The tannins are abundant, yet finely-grained and silky, providing a remarkable density of fruit and a powerful, lingering finish.
Serving Suggestions & Pairing
This is a wine built for the cellar and the finest cuts of meat. Decanting is highly recommended for younger vintages (2-4 hours). Serve at 60-65°F.
