Château Gruaud Larose 2005 comes from a Second Growth (Deuxième Grand Cru Classé) estate in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux. Known for its power, depth, and ability to age gracefully, Gruaud Larose has long been a benchmark of the Médoc.
The 2005 vintage is one of the greatest of the 21st century in Bordeaux, producing wines with remarkable concentration, balance, and longevity. This bottle shows aromas of cassis, blackberry, and cedar, layered with tobacco, leather, and earthy complexity from nearly two decades of age. The palate is structured and elegant, with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish.
A superb example of mature Saint-Julien, it is drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve for another 15–20 years. Offered with guaranteed provenance, this is a rare opportunity to own a top Left Bank wine from a legendary vintage.
