March 4, 2023 - Charleston Food & Wine Festival 2023; 3/2/2023-3/5/2023 (Charleston, SC (various locations)): Only wine that we tried with age. Despite all of the accolades I have not generally found myself drawn to the ‘05 Bordeaux. I appreciated that this had a bit more character to it from the age, but still not a wine I’m seeking out.

No reason you should wait to drink.
Will not improve.
Will be stable for 2-3 years -

July 31, 2016 - The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mineral. It tastes like mineral. The body is medium. The wine has narrow texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

October 4, 2015 - 18/20 COUP DE CŒUR
VISUEL : grenat joliment orangé
OLFACTIF : racé. Il a des notes de pommes comme dans un cidre bouché fermier.
GUSTATIF : excellent tanins qui se manifestent dès l'attaque. C'est expressif, intense, généreux. Que de plaisirs : il nous offre une texture qui flatte le palais. Le fruit demeure intense tout le long de la dégustation avec une superbe vivacité. À 10 ans, il est déjà excellent
ENSEMBLE : ce Grave à encore de belles années devant lui, il est encore dans sa jeunesse.
