  Deep ruby. The nose is not generous - at first, dominated by vanilla but also showed blackcurrant, plum, pepper and earth as it opened up. On the palate, it is more intense and rusty with notes of cedar, leather and dark berries. Nice balance of acidity and fine round tannins. Overall, nicely aged, but lacks fruit and concentration. Unlike the other comments, this didn't taste at all full bodied to me.

  Still very young and bold. A bit rustic, fullbodied, nice dark cherry fruit, some bitterness and a pretty good finish. Just what I already sayed: a bit to one-dimensional to compete with more acclaimed chateaux, but an excellent QPR.
  Drink or hold until 2025.

  Nice wine, good with food. Definitely getting a bit old, but well worthwhile if you’re looking for a classic, fully mature Graves at a decent price. Agree with the comment below that it was better shortly after opening.
  
  Deep garnet color, some sign of age but not excessive.
  
  Quite a powerful aroma once opened up, but almost all secondary and tertiary - leather and tobacco, with just a hint of dark berries
  
  Solid acid and firm but fine tannins provide good structure. Reasonably full body and good length. Taste and aroma very consistent, maybe a little more fruit but not a ton.

  Still in good shape, but on the decline.
  Similar notes on the first day to my last bottle. Again surprisingly robust for the price tag and the vintage. A 90-91 score.
  Lacking fruit on day two: a 89 score.
  
  Drink up in the next 3-5 years.
