Wine Spectator: 94-97 Points

Beautiful aromas of currant black licorice and blueberry follow through to a full body with chewy tannins and a long juicy finish. Big wine. Could be better than the classic 2000.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

Copious notes of sagebrush cedar cigar box licorice incense blackberries and lead pencil shavings suggest a big Pauillac rather than a St.-Julien. Broad rich and full-bodied with good balance and abundant but sweet well-integrated tannin this big masculine Gruaud Larose reveals remarkable finesse richness extract density and a cascade of fruit that nearly hides the lofty tannins.
