Description

Chateau Gruaud Larose 1990
St. Julien
6scl
Bottle (9)


"Meaty, smoky, sweet berry and black currant characteristics intertwined with roasted herb, charcoal, new saddle leather, and bloody steak juice-like notes are found in this lush, full-bodied, opulent wine." (94 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2009)

"Bright medium red with a reddish-amber rim. Pungent notes of cinnamon, quinine and rosemary complicate red fruit, peppery plum and herb flavors. Offers very good texture and chewy but noble tannins, with precise mineral-tinged fruit flavors lingering nicely on the peppery, flinty finish. A real step up in concentration from the 1989, and unlike that vintage this will still improve with further bottle age, though it's drinking well now. Very well done." (92 pts. Ian D'Agata, Vinous, April 2013)
