1982 Gruaud Larose 2012 Winemaker Roberto Conterno is aA 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.
