Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru Classe Saint-Julien 2002 (RP88+)

“A sweet, fruity, medium-bodied, surprisingly forward effort, the deep plum/purple-colored 2002 Gruaud Larose exhibits ripe aromas revealing herbaceous as well as spice notes. There is some potentially worrisome astringent tannin in the finish, but the wine’s depth augers well for this being ultimately resolved and integrated.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
