Château Gracia
Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Incredibly powerful Merlot with massive tannins, intense earth and sexy creme de cassis character. Smoke, plum, blueberry, black currant, espresso, chocolate, tobacco. Very ripe style- quite extracted and still showing the tannic grip of youth. Given some more maturity and oak integration this could very well be a stunner.

Aug 19th, 2018Dark, plush and exotic, the 2015 Gracia shows off the most extravagant side of Saint-Émilion. Dark cherry, chocolate, leather, spice and menthol effortlessly fill out the wine's dense frame. The 2015 has turned out beautifully and is a great example of modern Saint-Émilion at its best. The blend is 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2018)

Jun 25th, 2017Simply stunning. Ive tasted a lot of bordeaux. This is exceptional. It drinks way above its price. Changed dramatically over the course of a few hours. From earthy to flashy and then finally a dusty dark and astringent character. This was stupid good w short ribs with mashed and a ny strip with bleu cheese and brussels.
