Wine Advocate#149(2003-10) Rating : (88-90) Drink: 2007 - 2018
A sweet, fruity, medium-bodied, surprisingly forward effort, the deep plum/purple-colored 2002 Gruaud Larose exhibits ripe aromas revealing herbaceous as well as spice notes. There is some potentially worrisome astringent tannin in the finish, but the wine’s depth augers well for this being ultimately resolved and integrated. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2005) Score: 89
Aromas of sweet plums and tobacco follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. A bit austere but well made. Best after 2008. 37,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Rich fruit with quite dark notes. Fine, long finish, very structured fruit and depth. Balanced, very pure. Drink 2011-17. (16 points) |
