Tasting Notes

Suave, with dark espresso and Turkish coffee notes weaving around a core of steeped plum and blackberry flavors. Shows a licorice coating on the finish, accompanied by a hint of alder. Drink now through 2022.

Score: 90

The second wine, the deep ruby/purple-hued, medium-bodied 2012 La Gravette de Certan, is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. It exhibits sweet mulberry and cedary notes intertwined with hints of tobacco leaf, licorice and earth as well as a thickness, no doubt from the Merlot. It should offer enjoyable drinking for a decade or more.

Score: 88 - 90
