1979 Chateau Gruaud-Larose (VHS)

"Undeniably a top success for the vintage, the 1979 Gruaud-Larose has reached full maturity. It offers an intoxicating perfume of spices, black fruits, damp earth, minerals, and weedy fruit. Medium to full-bodied, with light tannins and moderately high acidity, this fleshy wine possesses more richness and depth than most wines from this vintage." - Wine Advocate
