Saint-Julien, Bordeaux | 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot

Fully mature, fully glorious. This 1995 Gruaud Larose is a classic Saint-Julien in its absolute prime – a glass of liquid history that’s all about savoury depth and plush, velvety fruit. The nose pulls you in with a powerful, spicy bouquet of black cherry, leather, cigar box and graphite, while the palate is supple and layered, offering soft fruit, decadent earthy flavours with a touch of dark chocolate. A generous, satisfying claret from a vintage that has fully come into its own.
