Description

Chateau Gruaud Larose 2009
St. Julien
owc
Bottle (12)

The Cellar Beneath, A Debut Offering from a Visionary Philadelphia Collector: All wines have been stored in one of the most remarkable private cellars we have encountered, a hidden, temperature-controlled vault built beneath the home with an entrance worthy of a spy film.

"Copious notes of sagebrush, cedar, cigar box, licorice, incense, blackberries and lead pencil shavings… 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…" (95 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2012)

“The 2009 Gruaud Larose is blended of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet colored, it charges forth with warm black raspberries, crème de cassis and redcurrant jelly notes with touches of potpourri, cigar box, new leather, hoisin and molten chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with black fruits and savory layers with a firm, grainy texture and seamless freshness lifting the long earth-laced finish.” (95 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, March 2019)


Estimate: $800 - $1,100.
