Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru 2022

97
/100

Tæt, kraftig næse med en let krydret note ind imellem. Lidt vegetabilsk, uden at være grøn eller umoden, men den er ikke helt harmonisk på frugtsiden, når den er ung, men det kommer, men den har virkelig sin egen karakter. Slank mund, ret elegant. Overordnet legende og ikke kantet eller grov. Endnu ikke helt harmonisk som ung, men allerede meget spændende. *** Gruaud Larose ligger på plateauet i Saint-Julien. Det smukke slot ejes af Jacques Merlaut, som har bragt sofistikeret højteknologisk udstyr med sig.

Årsrapporten

2022 vil gå over i historien som en fremragende årgang med hensyn til kvalitet. Og det på trods af, at det var den tørreste sommer i Frankrig, siden man begyndte at registrere den, og det varmeste år i det hele taget siden 1947.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

The 2022 Château Gruaud Larose is largely Cabernet Sauvignon yet includes 14% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 95% new barrels. It's an inky-hued 2022 that has a killer nose of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, liquid violets, and a beautiful, crushed stone-like minerality. This powerful, full-bodied Gruaud La Rose has plenty of mid-palate depth, fine, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's probably best hidden in the back of the cellar for a decade if possible, but it should be incredibly long-lived. I think it's as good as the 2018 and one of the absolute classics from this château.

Decanter om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Another excellently consistent wine from Gruaud in 2022 that gives terroir typicality with crystalline purity and such overall charm. Smooth and supple, silky but firm, generous but serious. Gorgeous acidity keeps the palate lifted and fresh while the concentrated fruit and quite present tannins give the structure and frame. I love the detail and purity, powerful and strong but refined. Direct with energy and juicy, vibrant acidity. Mineral, graphite and liquorice aspects grip the palate and linger on the finish with soft spices. Has a very moreish quality with approachability but the racy core and intense backbone suggests long ageing potential. 3.8pH. 3.45g/l total acidity. 40% production. 13% press wine (only Cabernet Sauvignon). 97/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Spicy, intense and concentrated, and yet delivers juicy drinkability from beginning to end, not an easy balance to achieve in 2022. The vintage trace comes through in notes of tobacco, dried herbs, cloves and sandalwood, with tannic build up through the palate, but it is balanced by fresh mint leaf, cassis, bilberry, cocoa bean, and salinity. Firm tannic architecture, excellent quality. 33% of production in the 1st wine, 95% new oak. mint, 96/100

Suckling om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Quite a discreet nose of dark fruit and minerals, with excellent depth. Uncoiled power and intensity, with a full body and firm but polished tannins that dissolve into a long and close-knit finish. It goes on for almost a minute. Try from 2028.

Parker om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Bottled in May 2024, the 2022 Gruaud Larose has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, violets, vine smoke, pen ink and tar. Medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, it's rich and broad, with terrific depth at the core, sweet structuring tannins and a long, expansive finish. Checking in at 13.6% alcohol, it's the estate's first organic-certified vintage.

The Wine Palate om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Expressive, Bold, Black Fruit, Lavender, Baking Spices, Forest Floor, Medium bodied, Refreshing Acidity, Subtle Oak, Grainy Texture, High Tannin, Needs Time. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Gruaud Larose is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs some coaxing to bring out notes of ripe plums, boysenberries, and black currant jelly, plus hints of forest floor and spice cake with a waft of lavender oil. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant and vibrant with a lively line and finely-grained tannins defining the savory-laced black fruit layers, finishing on a lingering mineral note.
