Tasting Notes

Tasted blind. Very luscious and polished. Sweet and gorgeous, with no rough edges. This could only be Pomerol! (JR)

The 2019 La Grave is powerful and a bit rustic, but also impeccably balanced. Dark cherry, gravel cured meat, spice, tobacco and game are all kicked up in this decidedly rustic yet flavorful Pomerol.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 la Grave rolls out of the glass with vibrant, open-knit scents of kirsch, black raspberries, blackberries and redcurrant jelly plus touches of underbrush, dried Provence herbs and stewed tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has lovely richness with bags of ripe, savory-laced black fruits, framed by soft tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a peppery kick. Nice!
