description: A second label of the famous second growth, Chateau Gruaud Larose, this wine offers charming scents of cherries, cedar and herb, but clamps down on the palate with dusty, slightly drying tannins that don't appear to have the depth of fruit to support them for long-term aging. Drink over the next few years with rare beef or lamb to help rein in the tannins.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
