Château Haura
Graves Red Bordeaux Blend
Graves, Bordeaux, France
Drank 9/7/18.
Starting to open up some of the lesser '10's. This is showing well, but could hold another few years.
Nose of coffee, tilled soil, graphite, and some light blackberry notes. Flavors of black berry, with plum and earthy notes mix with medium, well integrated dusty tannins. Very well balanced. A pleasure to drink.
3/21/8/4/4 +50 =90 pts

Beautiful aromatics, well balanced with soft tannins. Drinking great right now. I opened this in honor of the passing of the great scientist Mr. Dubourdieu

Scratched my Graves itch, but lacked the character I was hoping for. High toned tobacco, scorched earth, and cherry. A little disjointed... seemed to flicker on and off, but never really came together.

As smooth as smooth can be. The balance leans a tough towards sweet woody notes, and pipe tobacco. It is not complex by any stretch of the imagination, but it's just delicious.

Fool me once, Saranty Imports, shame on you. Fool me repeatedly, Saranty Imports, shame on me.

First impression: lighter body than expected, sharp/acidic.
Second glass: smoother, can smell/taste more sweetness
