In the bouquet chocolate, sweet spices and dark as well as red berries, laurel, licorice. On the palate vanilla, juicy red berries and bell pepper. Beautifully fresh acidity. Very tasty and a long finish. Fully mature and lovely wine.

Larose De Gruaud presented big firm predominant gripping bramble dark black fruit flavors accented by a layer of creosote tar and smoke giving way to black cherry, tobacco, leather and lingering firm tannins. A bit austere on the finish.
No formal notes. Classic right-bank. Nose of black ripe fruits, pencil shavings, green capsimum and leather. Flavours of black berries, oak, vegetal, spice. Integrated tannins, medium acidity, ditto body, good length finish, austere character and very drinkable. Elegant. Like it. Not great but good.

I was not dazzled by this wine. Perhaps I had higher than usual expectation since this is a 2nd growth. Nose was a tight, smell of soy sauce, peppered steak, no fruit. Taste of berries, strong tannins.. lacks structure

Cassis, berries, quite tannic, but opened up over dinner.
