Château Gracia
Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Simply 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.

Dec 18th, 20152005 vintage. Good fill. Beyond solid cork. Good amount + of sed. Decanted and tasted over the course of 2.5 hours. Medium heavy bod. Showed well (9.4) right out of the gate. Chunky fruit and tannins up front, structure in the back with no loss of purpose in the mid-palate. Darker fruits became more prominent at the hour decanted mark. Some stunningly beautiful notes amidst the maelstrom. First go-round with this producer. Impressive. 2.10.24.
