Chateau Gruaud Larose 2009 St Julien Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Robert Parker: As I wrote in my barrel tasting note, the 2009
appears to be the finest Gruaud Larose since their 1990. Some of my
concerns about too much brett in previous vintages are long gone as
the purity of the 2009 jumps out. Copious notes of sagebrush,
cedar, cigar box, licorice, incense, blackberries and lead pencil
shavings suggest a big Pauillac rather than a St.-Julien. Broad,
rich and full-bodied with good balance and abundant, but sweet,
well-integrated tannin, this big, masculine Gruaud Larose reveals
remarkable finesse, richness, extract, density and a cascade of
fruit that nearly hides the lofty tannins. This beauty should be at
its best between 2020-2045.
