About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Gruaud-Larose is a classical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot blend that shows ripe dark cherry fruit, firm tannins and decent acidity. The 2008 vintage was nice improvement on the year before with slightly warmer days to enable nice fruit ripeness.The wine is lush while still carrying that traditional Saint-Julien austerity.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

...the finest Gruaud Larose I have tasted in eight years. Not a blockbuster, it is more beefy and dense than other recent vintages...
