Château Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2001
What a perfumed, elegant, structured wine, with all the elements of fruit, wood, tannins just in the right place. It shows great tannins, powerful black and red berry fruits, denseness, and a classic, fresh aftertaste. Wine Enthusiast

Ruby garnet. Red fruit and leather on the nose and palate with cola and cassis. Plush velvety tannins. Very nice right now.

2001 first label. Amber hue. On the nose, leather, prune, truffles and forest floor. On the palate, cherry, prune, caramel, vanilla, spice, licorice - long finish. Good balance, full body and silky texture.

2001 vintage. Earthy/mushroom nose. Initially cloudy but stabilized. Surprising amount of front palate richness mated with the famous Gruaud-Larose smooth and lengthy finish. Still has years ahead of solid drinking.

A smidge disappointed given I’ve had many 2001 Bordeaux I quite like and separately that SJ is my favorite left bank appellation. Just a bit disjointed, with some drying tannins on the finish - definitely drink up if you have these. Still, can’t argue that this is classic Bordeaux and a great pairing with grilled hanger steak.
