Such a great value in a textbook Graves. Moist gravel, tobacco, cracked stones, plummy fruit. Mouthfilling, soft, balanced, earthy. Not the length or depth of a classified growth but gives the vibes without draining the bank account.

UPDATE: After 2 nights under a Vacu-Vin, this took on weight and density, and developed an intense black olivey character.

Open, friendly, typically Graves nose of moist gravelly earth, cigar box, and plummy fruit. Soft and mouthfilling. Very nice balance. Dark plummy fruit, earthy minerality, no noticeable new oak. Ready now and will last a few more years.

A dry descent wine. It's lighter than I expected. Blend 65% Merlot 35% Cab.
