Description
Chateau Gruaud Larose 2000St. Julien
7lscl
Bottle (12)
Acquired in the early-mid 90s through reputable channels and stored behind a secret panel, carved beneath the foundation of a magnificent Bel-Air home, with redundant temperature and humidity control.
"A very strong effort for Gruaud Larose, possibly eclipsed by what they have done in 2009, this is a pure, full-bodied Gruaud Larose with plenty of new saddle leather, cedar wood, black currants, cherries, licorice, and Provencal herbs. Spicy, earthy, full-bodied, and rich, it has hit its plateau of full maturity, where it should stay for another 20 or more years." (94 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2010)
“Concentrated and full of still-confident tannins at 21 years old, this really gives a sense of how slowly and carefully Gruaud Larose ages. Black pepper spice ripples through the blackberry and blackcurrant liqueur, and you feel the ripeness in the grapes. Black truffle, slate and espresso come out as it opens, as is so often the case with Gruaud Larose, along with plenty of charred cedar and a juicy finish. Now opening up, but still with the freshness and slightly austere tannins of a young wine, a brilliant combination of power and delicacy.” (95 pts. Jane Anson, Nov. 2021)
“The 2000 Gruaud Larose has a perfumed and floral nose, touches of leather, wild mint and just a little Brettanomyces in the background, though not as much as the 1990 tasted alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresher than the 1990, grainy tannins with touches of pencil lead and allspice. A little espresso and leather surface towards the slightly loose-knit finish suggests it will not improve with further bottle age.” (90 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Jan. 2023)
Estimate: $1,000 - $1,300.
