The 1991, with its dark color and leathery, smoked meat, tar, and licorice-scented nose, is a returm to the estate's bold, intense style. Spicy, with sweet fruit, low acidity, and a soft, plump texture, it is already drinking well and will last for another 8-10 years. If in fact the 1989 and 1990 were intentionally made in a lighter style, the 1992 also gives evidence that Gruaud-Larose may have returned to the forceful, robust, muscular style that made the estate famous.
