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.

I like the aromas of sliced mushroom, berries and wet earth, that follow through to a full body, with super silky tannins and a chewy finish. A fit, yet polished wine here. Try after 2020.

Intense smoky cassis and plum nose, with a good deal of new oak underlying the lavish fruit. Rich, supple, hedonistic and fleshy, with a slightly soft texture that’s balanced by some acidic bite. This shows admirable concentration and persistence, and doesn’t lack finesse despite the rather forward character of the palate. Delicious and very long. Alun Griffiths MW<br /> Very full nose of black fruits, cherry, cassis and plum. Tannins very present but ripe. Dense and concentrated on the palate but still with elegance and finesse. Lovely quality of fruit. Just a touch of hollowness somewhere in the mid-palate stops it being top-class. Steven Spurrier<br /> Very good concentration and depth of fruit. Expressive, slightly leathery, very good tannins already blending in, nice element of exotic spice, good richness and depth, just lacks the final lift of elegance, but a very good wine.
