Tasting notes

In the bottle, Gruaud Larose appears to have returned to the form it possessed when I first tasted it from cask - a stylish, surprisingly civilized, medium-bodied wine without the muscle and power expected from both this terroir and vintage. It still possesses excellent density, as well as roasted herb, licorice, and black currant flavors intermixed with incense-like smells. The wine is medium to full-bodied, pure, rich, and forward.

About this wine

The 2005 Gruaud Larose has a deep ruby/purple colour, excellent concentration, and clean, pure black and red currant fruit, liquorice, and spice. It is medium to full-bodied, lush, and very soft and round. It is certainly capable of lasting 15 or more years.
