Grand Cru Classé de Graves Red Bordeaux Blend

Dark black fruit. Almost cooked. Not stewed. Ripe tannins. Needs air. But wonderful. 2019

Oak, chocolate, leather, black fruits. The mouth has a superb almost milky texture. A wine full of elegance that deserves a few years of ageing.

Chêne, chocolat, cuir, fruits noirs. La bouche a une superbe texture presque lactée. Un vin plein d’élégance qui mérite quelques années de garde.

375ml. Needed a decant and is still very young. Dark cherries, leather, and licorice eventually come through but wine was very tight. After an hour it was elegant and rustic at the same time. Would love to try again in 5+yrs.

Solid cab forward Bordeaux, black fruits, chocolate and leather with dark cherries

Solid but needs time or a long decant. Good QPR.

Easy drinking even so young.

2015

Very dry, almost astringent, Red Bordeaux with smooth finish, from daughter and son-in-law, served with steak dinner on Drakes Island

Sweet blackberries/black currant, baking spice, pencil shaving. 30 min decant. Good with meatball za

Old and way past it's prime, but still drinkable and enjoyable if you like old claret.
