The wine ages very well and develops all the characteristics of a great Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 3% petit Verdot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003eStill tasting as if it were only 7-8 years of age, the dense, garnet\/purple-colored 1986 Gruaud-Larose is evolving at a glacier pace. The wine still has mammoth structure, tremendous reserves of fruit and concentration, and a finish that lasts close to a minute. The wine is massive, very impressively constituted, with still some mouth-searing tannin to shed. Decanting of one to two hours in advance seems to soften it a bit, but this is a wine that seems to be almost immortal in terms of its longevity. It is a great Medoc classic, and certainly one of the most magnificent Gruaud-Larose ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logan, Chateau Gruaud Larose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44050379964640,"sku":"117442","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-gruaud-larose-saint-julien-grand-cru-classe_1_950203f1-5799-48dc-9f0b-3b7d4f93bbeb.jpg?v=1686602597","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-gruaud-larose-saint-julien-grand-cru-classe-1986-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
