Malartic Lagravière - Grand Cru - 2016
Pessac-LéognanChateau Malartic Lagravière
Red / Bordeaux / sulphites / Dry / 14%
0,75L
Deep and complex nose, in which the cassis and mint of cabernet sauvignon are beautifully married to the more generous blackberry of ripe merlot and the vanilla and toasty notes from the oak are marvelously integrated. On the palate it creeps up on you slowly; the first impression is ripe yet delicate, then the fine-grained tannins charge through and light up the sky. Very long finish. Drink or hold.
Aging: +25 years
Pairing: Beef and Venisson

Do not look for power and demonstration in Malartic-Lagravière. Here, it is subtlety, harmony, a fresh and emotional bouquet and an airy finish that develop.
All the more so as in 2018, the vintage brings an extra soul. Ruby. Sweet, rich, intense, fruit driven, cassis nose, vanilla. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins,
ripe, sweet and big for the estate, juicy with texture, untypical style from here, long.
Aging: +25 years
