It checks in at 13.47% alcohol with a pH of 3.71. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is a heavenly Saint-Julien that brings the richness of the vintage alongside an unmistakable sense of class. Bravo!\u003c\/strong\u003e ~ 97-99 Jeb Dunnuck \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003e 2025 Gruaud Larose is rich, ample and exotic \u003c\/strong\u003eright out of the gate. Dark-toned fruit, graphite, licorice, mocha and lavender are all dialed up. The 2025 has a lot to offer, but will need a number of years to be at its finest. There's a lot of wine here. Even with all its intensity, the tannins show no signs of stress. All the 2025 needs is a lot of time in the cellar to shed its considerable baby fat. ~ 95-97 Vinous Media \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnwinding in the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, plums mingled with hints of violet and pencil shavings, the 2025 Gruaud Larose is medium- to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a deep core of fruit, lovely energy and ripe, powdery tannins. Checking in at 13.5% alcohol, this blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc \u003cstrong\u003ewill bear a special gold label to commemorate the estate's 300th anniversary\u003c\/strong\u003e. ~ 94-96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuch fragrant and explosive aromatics\u003c\/strong\u003e, full of violets and freshly picked flowers with really ripe blackcurrants. Such a vibrant colour in the glass too – a bright pink colour, really vivid. Succulent and so juicy with a lovely zing of cranberry acidity but backed by a cool blueberry, almost creamy and chalky texture. \u003cstrong\u003eAmazing energy to this, really fleshy and lifted but at the same time there’s plenty of fruit and power.\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.69pH. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. ~ 93 Decanter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Gruaud Larose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48370021859563,"sku":"CGLSJ25FUT","price":418.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/files\/ChateauGruaudLaroseSaintJulienFUTURES6x750ml.jpg?v=1717209436","url":"https:\/\/www.bighammerwines.com\/es\/products\/2025-chateau-gruaud-larose-saint-julien-futures-6-x-750ml","provider":"BigHammerWines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
