1 hour decant. Nose: charred oak, licorice, blackberries, forest floor, tobacco, leather & tiny burst of red fruit. Palate: well balanced medium body, with mushroom, forest floor, wild berries, oak spices, tobacco, leather, fine tannins, earthy finish. Not super complex, but well made and enjoyable.

As usual from this property, a classical high quality production. Medium bodied, well integrated tanins, Red and black fruits dominant. Ready to drink.

Dark/opaque ruby fading to light ruby with a barely-there watery rim. Nose of blackberry, vanilla, smoke, and leather - I'm impressed. On the palate it is full-bodied with medium-low acidity, fine tannins, and notes of dark berries and cedar. Medium-long finish.
I 2as nor expecting this much from a basic bordeaux. I wish I had purchased more. Having said that, I think this is an early-drinker. Drink now through 2028.

Color of Satan's cape. Soft floral nose. Surprisingly velvety entry, ripe, sweet dark fruit, smoky mocha lush base layer with quite nice tinge of fresh berry spicy acid. It is not without correct tannin component which adds to complexity. Remarkable wine for the price. More enjoyable than all the other harder 2018s I've tasted.

No formal note, a nice bottle from Graves with an excellent QPR.
