Gloria, Gruaud, and Old Rieslings in the Garden

Loading thread data ...
1982 Ch. Gruaud Larose - wow - what a difference. A big wine, with lots of dark fruit and spice in the nose, big sweet entry, full bodied in the mouth, great concentration and a surprising peppery finish. No rush here!

Great news, thanks Bill

This wine has always impressed, each of my notes on it always stresses the darkness and extract, goes on and on,

I have three bottles left.

Compare GL with LLC at twice the price, no contest, LLC is dire.

Happy summer John

As always, thanks for the great notes, Bill. As I have only bottle of this stuff (an early gift from Jean), I rely on your occasional updates to gauge when to open my own (although no doubt mine is more evolved than yours owing to its variable storage conditions these past 2 decades). Would you say that the tannins have now resolved, or does it have more mileage yet to go?
