What the critics say
97 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 01-11-2020
It was paired with the 1928 Gruaud Larose. At this point in time the estate was divided after the Sarget portion was sold to Mme Adrienne Lavielle, the Baronne Sarget de Lafontaine. It was only reunited in 1945. This is one of my favorite wines of the 20th century, a spellbinding example poured some 10 years ago in London that stunned its audience with its grandeur. This bottle was not quite as spectacular but the aromatics were more compelling than the Ducru-Beaucaillou with vestiges of brambly red fruit, sage, leather and mint. The palate has a little more depth and grip, wonderful balance and depth with a gentle but insistent grip towards the finish. Granted, I noticed that it just began fading after an hour in the glass, unlike the previous bottle that continued soaring to the heavens, yet it remains one of the best Left Bank wines of the vintage.

Tasted 2 Times With Consistent Notes The 1928 Gruaud-Larose is an amazingly intact wine as it approaches 70 years of age. It exhibits a huge, earthy, sweet, truffle, cedar, and spicy-scented nose, huge body, noticeably high tannin, and stunning concentration. A slight austerity creeps in at the finish. The dark garnet color with only light amber is remarkable given the wine's age.
