CHATEAU GRUAUD LAROSE 1996 |

Château Gruaud Larose 1996 St. Julien, 2ème Cru ClasséCellar-soiled, stained, and scuffed labels and capsules, corroded capsules, excellent color and clarityGreat breed on the bouquet, very spicy on the palate. Classic, with perfect balance, and harmony between power and elegance. Perfect profile and length of flavour. In 2014, a wonderful, rich, plummy nose, so opulent and spicy. Classic too. Splendid on the palate, soft, ripe and 'tarry'. Serena Sutcliffe, MW6 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
