Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1995
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: Revealing more grip and tannin since bottling, the 1995 Gruaud-Larose exhibits a dark ruby colour, and a nose of sweet black cherries, liquorice, earth, and spice. Rich, with medium to full body, high tannin, and subtle oak in the background, the 1995 is nearly as structured and tannic as the 1996. The two vintages are more similar than dissimilar. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. Gruaud-Larose was purchased in 1997 by Jacques Merlaut, the well-known proprietor of many other chateaux, including Chasse-Spleen. Merlaut was not responsible for making the 1996 or 1995, but is responsible for their elevage and bottling. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 115 Feb 1998
