On the nose.... strawberry cheesecake with a cinnamon graham crust... Without sugar of course. On the palate, expressive red fruit, spices, cedar, vanilla, and mint with a beautiful mouth feel. Medium plus alcohol with medium plus tannins-that are already softened, super long finish. I have zero doubt that this wine will improve for at least a decade. Very tempted.to cellar a case or more of this.

93+ points

The second wine we had for our Thanksgiving dinner was the 2018 Chateau Malartic Lagrviére. This is from Pessac-Léognan in Bordeaux a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, herbs, cedar, cigar box, crushed gravel and rich earth.

On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, stewed black plum, licorice, black currant, dry gravel and earth.

This wine is full bodied with medium + acidity and medium+ to high grippy mouthcoating tannins that lead into a long black fruit woodsy earthy finish. We did have a third wine for dinner but it was a wine I had rated a few days back that finished the night off just right. Continued good health and safety to each and every one of you. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Super smooth. One of the 10 best wines I’ve had. Decant for 30 minutes. Actually liked it more the 2nd day as it mellowed.

2018 vintage. That sumptuous Graves nose of herbs and chocolate milk. Light medium body. Petite spell of astringency with paprika, zinc and orange peel in the finish currently but it dissolves after twelve seconds or so and the aforementioned herbs come back into play on a lingering, subtle denouement.
