2002 Château Gruaud Larose

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Sunday, December 10, 2023 - Pulled the Gruaud Larose slightly earlier than I might have otherwise liked - was doing inventory and noticed a bulging capsule which is a worry with bottles purchased on the secondary retail market like this one. Pretty classic, still on the fruit (classic Cabernet) but with a leafy character here. Bit of graphite but not too much. Showed better after an hour in the glass so I probably needn’t have worried. A bit less immediately profound as my memories of the 02 Leoville Barton although it does have the same depth and nice neat tannin. Long finish after one lets it get going.
