John Gilman: The 2010 Gruaud-Larose has turned out very well indeed and is another of the stars in St-Julien this year. The bouquet is deep, complex, and handsomely reserved in tone, as it offers up scents of cassis, dark berries, espresso, cigar wrapper, gravelly soil tones, and a deft framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied, and powerfully constructed, with a rock-solid core of fruit, plenty of ripe, well-integrated tannins, and a very long, well-balanced, and classy finish. 2022–75. 17.5+
