Red, beginning brownish in rim, precipitate, high intensity. Developed, medium intensity, nuanced nose. Spicy with black pepper, dark fruit and some meaty notes. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium(+), medium(+) body, 12,5%. Fruitiness and all aromas found in nose. Add some charcuterie and juniper. Velvet tannins. Very good length with juniper smoked sausage. Perfect, just as a Graillot should be!

Totally in the zone now after an hour’s decant - the “right” maturity level for me, for this wine, to get the secondary softness and kinder tannins, some fruit coming to the forefront, and still get a touch of the brine the wine exhibited in earlier years.

Dark and savory nose with brine, olives, and dark cherry flavors. Nice acidity with medium tannins and more black fruit, dark olives, and violet flavors on the palate. Nice finish.
