Chateau Gruaud Larose 2006 Saint-Julien 2e cru classe
Chateau Gruaud Larose 2006. Blackberry fruit on the nose, with a slightly nutty element from the oak alongside. It seems a little flashy and exuberant on entry, but then shows a leaner and more gently composed midpalate. Underneath there is dense, ripe, fairly firm structure.
Jancis Robinson 17 points.Blackish crimson. Zesty nose with the merest hint of oak. Well put together even if embryonic super smooth and easy and there is absolutely nothing for anyone to object to even if no-one would go to bed dreaming of this wine. I am churlish to even voice a hint of complaint. Very well done, if slightly bureaucratic.
