Chateau Gruaud Larose, Saint-Julien, 2021, 75cl Format:12 x 75cl and drink it over theBottled in May 2024, the 2022 Gruaud Larose has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, violets, vine smoke, pen ink and tar. Medium to full bodied, dense and layered, it's rich and broad, with terrific depth at the core, sweet structuring tannins and a long, expansive finish. Checking in at 13. 6% alcohol, it's the estate's first organic certified vintage. Drink Date: 2030 2055 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
