Overview

The 2003 Gruaud Larose’s dark plum/garnet color is followed by sweet aromas of damp earth, forest floor, herbs, espresso roast, cassis, licorice, and plums. Medium-bodied as well as surprisingly up-front and precocious, it possesses sweet tannin, very nice concentration, and loads of earthy/herbal characteristics intermixed with black fruits, and an attractive, but supple, evolved finish. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. It does not rank alongside the top St.-Juliens.

The 2003 Gruaud Larose has a very savory nose with meat juices, singed leather and touches of fireside hearth. It comes across as more Rhône-like than Bordeaux. The palate is medium-bodied and marks an improvement over the aromatics with vestiges of stewed red fruit, black pepper, garrigues and sage notes. There is now some dryness creeping in towards the finish, so I would drink this in the not-too-distant future. Tasted at the Gruaud Larose vertical at the château in February 2023.
