A truly stunning and huge wine Gruaud has often been a little rustic but the 2010 is refined yet overflowing in all departments. The highest levels of tannins ever seen at Gruaud are quietened and second string to the dense yet beautifully focused cool fruit. A powerful experience with waves of precisely defined blackberry fruit super-fine tannins and freshness which will all help to see this become a long-lived wine and probably one of the best value wines of the vintage – a triumph.
