Jun 2009 Robert Parker 98 Drink: 2009 - 2050
A massive wine that is clearly of first-growth quality in this vintage, the 1982 Gruaud Larose remains a youngster. A broodingly dense, thick, unctuously textured, inky/plum/garnet/purple color offers up scents of beef blood, steak tartare, cassis, herbs, tobacco, and underbrush. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage (as well as one of the most concentrated Bordeaux’s I have ever tasted), it is a huge, full-bodied, weighty, rich wine whose tannins are getting silkier and silkier. It appears set for another 30-40 years of life. This behemoth is a singularly profound example of Gruaud Larose that continues to justify its legendary status.

Jul 2010 Neal Martin 95 Drink 2010 - 2025
Tasted at the 1982 dinner at The Square. This continues to be one of the outstanding Saint Julien’s of the vintage and offers perhaps more pleasure than the Leoville Las-Cases ’82. Here, it has a wonderful, well defined, perhaps slightly bretty nose, quite medicinal with age with that mint aroma becoming more accentuated with aeration. The palate is full-bodied with supple tannins, but at 28-years of age it retains great backbone with layers of glycerin-ripe fruit dominating the finish that turns more animally after 15-minutes in the glass. This remains a fabulous, heart-warming Gruaud Larose. Drink now-2025+ Tasted August 2009.
