Graves Red Bordeaux Blend

Attack marked by the freshness of its youth (5 years) on acidulous black fruits (Cassis). Body marked by oak / vanilla aging accompanied by humus / undergrowth / earthy notes. The whole is balanced, with a nice flexibility, classic and classy while remaining simple. My grandfather would have loved. With Breton pancakes with creamy mushrooms, eggs and cheese parsley, it goes very well.

Attaque marquée par la fraîcheur de sa jeunesse (5 ans) sur les fruits noirs acidulés (type Cassis). Corps marqué par l’élevage boisé chêne/vanillé accompagnés de notes humus/sous-bois/terreux. L’ensemble est à l’équilibre, avec une belle souplesse, classique et classieux tout en restant simple. Mon grand-père aurait adoré. Avec des galettes bretonnes au champignons crémeux, œufs fromage persil, ça passe très bien.

Fruity not so bad

First French wine. 12 euro from Monop

Can’t remember price but good value and is pretty good. Not very gravel-y but strong tannins

Very strong needs to sit a lot ... not my fav at all

This bottle remained unopened since 2005. I popped it open about 3 weeks and it’s smooth. The flavor is rich and it has bold accents.

Lovely Graves - proper Christmas wine!

This is way better than expected.

Tame but easy drinking

At Charles ' house w charles/Diego. O9/17. After partners meeting.
