Score 91/100 · Drink 1989-2029, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Feb 2022

The 1979 Gruaud Larose is still drinking well today, offering up a rich bouquet of cherries and berries mingled with hints of dried herbs, camphor and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with a generous core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids, it's a comparatively muscular, chunky rendition of the vintage that is far from decline from a good cellar.
