The Château Gruaud Larose 2005 has an open bouquet: quite savoury in style with touches of bacon fat and cured meat infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly angular tannin. The acidity is well judged although it still needs to develop a little cohesion towards the finish. It seems to have just lost a little length since I last tasted it – obviously still going through its awkward “”teenager”” moment. I am sure it will come down from its bedroom at some point and those sage and thyme notes on the aftertaste continue to appeal. Drink 2018 – 2040
