Expect layers of blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and subtle earthy spice, all framed by refined oak and a distinctly Left Bank character.\n\nOn the palate, Gruaud Larose 2015 is usually full-bodied and precise, with firm but well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The wine has the structure to age gracefully for many years, developing greater complexity with time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from the gravelly soils of Saint-Julien, the wine benefits from a terroir that naturally promotes ripeness, balance, and excellent drainage.
