Chateau Gruaud Larose, 1975 Red Wine
St Julien 2me Cru Classe
Bottle size: 75cl
Price:
$158.90 USD
Description
The 1975 is a massive, backward wine that appears to resist aging. Still bitterly tannic, impressively-colored (dark garnet with no amber), and monstrous on the palate, this wine will either turn out like the outstanding 1928 and begin to reveal some charm and character around age 40. It is likely to be appreciated only by the most patient Bordeaux enthusiasts. - Parker Wine Advocate Drink now -2040
