Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru 2020

97–98
/100

Gruaud Larose ligger på plateauet i Saint-Julien. Det smukke slot ejes af Jacques Merlaut, som har bragt sofistikeret højteknologisk udstyr med sig. Kun rød frugt i 2020 - typisk Saint-Julien. Men ikke som en tidligere Gruard Larose, så intet græsagtigt. Bare moden rød frugt, sød, men puristisk. Viser sødme og volumen, men kører meget monogamt på rød. Noget slank i munden, men det klæder den. Meget klassisk orientering, 2016 og også lidt 2010 i blomsterrigdommen. Lidt karamel bagtil, masser af salt og masser af rødt frugtgreb. Fantastisk syre. Moden, men alligevel legende og ekstremt frisk. Meget egen stil og meget Saint-Julien. 97-98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Detailed and delicate, this has a seductive charm to it, slowly displaying scented blueberries and raspberries, before layers of salty minerality, liquorice, and cooling blue fruits come into play as well as tobacco and liquorice adding a savoury touch. It’s not immediately upfront - more calm and collected, slowly growing in stature and presence. Tannins are fine but mouthcoating, giving the structure, this isn't a light wine, but it's supremely elegant and excellently textured. Impressive complexity and drama here, still very serious but it's sublime too. A luminous wine I'd love to own. 98/100

Parker om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

A lovely softness and texture to this wine with a medium to full body, plenty of fruit and fine velvety tannins. It’s lovely to taste now and will age beautifully. Really seductive. Hard not to drink now but one for the cellar. Best to try after 2025. 96/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Coming from the talented Virginie Salette (the head winemaker since 2017) and tiny yields of 32 hectoliters per hectare, the 2020 Château Gruaud Larose is 79% Cabernet, 14% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, which continues the trend at this estate toward more and more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Beautifully done, with a terrific sense of finesse, it offers a great nose of both red and black fruit as well as leafy tobacco, spring flowers, licorice, and spicy oak. Pure, medium to full-bodied, and wonderfully balanced, with fine tannins, it shows the focused, inward, almost understated style of the vintage without any rusticity or austerity. It needs a solid 7-8 years of bottle age, if not a decade, and is going to be very long-lived. Bravo. 96/100

Lisa Perrotti Brown om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

The opaque purple-black colored 2020 Gruaud Larose comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of crushed black cherries, juicy blackberries, and fresh black currants, followed by hints of sassafras, dark chocolate, and violets. Medium-bodied, the palate is very tightly coiled at this nascent stage, featuring firm, ripe, grainy tannins, and beautiful freshness to support the bright black berry and floral layers, finishing long and fragrant. 96/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

There is purity and power here, everything elegant and stripped back, but with a creaminess to the fruits in the mid palate, and a sense of flexibility in the tannins. Extremely young and crouched, still ageing at the estate for another few months, but already showing serious promise, with spiced blueberry and blackcurrant puree shot through with fennel and liquroice. A yield of 32hl/ha, harvest September 14 to 29. . 95% new oak. In certified organic conversion. 95/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

Rock-solid, with a core of dark plum, boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors held together with cedar, savory, tobacco and singed apple wood notes that add texture and energy through the finish. Built for the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2030 through 2040. 95/100

Galloni om: Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru

The 2020 Gruaud-Larose is a powerful, dense wine. Super-ripe dark cherry, kirsch, menthol, licorice, rose petal and espresso infuse the palate with tons of intensity. Unctuous and flamboyant, the 2020 also offers a good bit of energy to keep things in balance. The 2020 is very much an extrovert, a gorgeous extrovert at that. Sweet floral and spice accents, along with a kick of sweet French oak, linger. 95/100
