Chateau Gruaud Larose 2019

A legendary Second Growth Saint-Julien, Château Gruaud Larose is renowned for its power, complexity, and exceptional longevity. It reveals aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, cedar, graphite, tobacco, violet, leather, and subtle baking spice. Richly concentrated yet impeccably refined, it delivers firm tannins, vibrant freshness, remarkable precision, and an extraordinarily long, age-worthy finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.

94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Château Gruaud Larose is an impressive Saint-Julien, displaying a deep purple color and expressive aromas of cassis, dark raspberries, spice, dried flowers and cedar incense. Medium- to full-bodied, it offers a concentrated core of fruit, generous sweet tannins and outstanding length. More refined and elegant than the 2018, it combines immediate charm with the structure to age gracefully for 25+ years. Best enjoyed after 2024.

94 Points - James Suckling

Attractive aromas of ripe dark and blue fruit are layered with vanilla, dark chocolate, hazelnut and damp earth. Dense and compact on the palate, the wine is supported by polished tannins that carry seamlessly through a long, even finish accented by notes of chocolate and crushed stone. Elegant, structured and beautifully balanced.
