  Pop and pour. Maybe my last btl was slightly off? Notes from 3 days open. Cork crumbled upon opening, so decanted into an empty btl. On the nose: blackberry, cedar, red earth, a touch of vanilla. On the palate: ok density, lovely acidity and weight. Blackberry, sweet tobacco, a touch of charred meat, and slightly pasty tannin on the close. A very solid bottle. Doesn't have the density of the first wine, but very nice.

  Tad disappointed by this second wine of Gruaud Larose! A blend of 54 % CS, Merlot 26 %, CF 13 % and 9 % PV: cherry, tobacco, prune, tobacco leaf, raspberry, oak, blackberry, medium minus body, red fruit finish.

  Mirroring the tasting notes from a year ago, this is drinking well. In spite of some still youthful notes, this was built to be drunk at a younger age and it does everything a second wine should do. This probably should be drunk over the next 5 years to show it at its best.
