2015 Château Gruaud Larose

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 - Popped and poured over about 2 hours, at first was very closed and muted but after warming up to room temperature and being exposed to air for 30 minutes it opened up with blackberry and what I guess is the graphite pencil lead smell that people associate with Bordeaux, with aggressive swirling the nose was lovely and expressive. Flavors mainly in the dark fruited spectrum, mouthfeel was a bit astringent and drying and low acidity and a medium length finish. This was quite nice and might be a little young as it definitely took some swirling to open up. I'm going to try to wait another 10 years before opening another.
