95/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, December 2022
The 2017 Gruaud Larose has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It tumbles from the glass with expressive scents of black raspberries, Morello cherries, and cassis, plus suggestions of pencil lead, red roses, and damp soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is juicy and expressive with a fine-grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing with a spicy lift.
