Aromas of blackberry, toasted oak, sweet tobacco and espresso. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. I like the texture. Best after 2010. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. (3/ 2006)
The 2003 Gruaud Larose’s dark plum/garnet color is followed by sweet aromas of damp earth, forest floor, herbs, espresso roast, cassis, licorice, and plums. Medium-bodied as well as surprisingly up-front and precocious, it possesses sweet tannin, very nice concentration, and loads of earthy/herbal characteristics intermixed with black fruits, and an attractive, but supple, evolved finish. (4/ 2006)
Very spicy, exotic Asian spice aromas and flavors. Huge wine. Holding back. Very extracted wine. Some hollowness but this wine should come around. Hard to taste? Tasted two times. *+? - Barrel Sample by Clyde Beffa 04/04
