1986 Chateau Gruaud-Larose (HS)

"I've always loved this wine. In the past I have found it combines the beautiful opulence of old Gruaud-Larose with the structure of the vintage. Most recently a bottle in February 2023 was loaded with sweet red cherry notes and rose petals. Surprisingly delicate. Fine powdery tannin. Lovely freshness that opened beautifully in the glass." - 95/100 Decanter
