Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1981
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Levels: six bottom neck and twelve top shoulder
"A top success for the vintage, the 1981 Gruaud-Larose is dark ruby, with a full-intensity bouquet of ripe black currants, spicy oak, plums, leather, smoked meat, and violets. This wine is concentrated on the palate, with rich, tannic, lingering flavors. The tannins are melting away and the wine is close to maturity. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 10/89." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
