Sunday, February 26, 2017 - Dark bloody red in color. First Graillot I tried where the acidity is completely balanced. You can tell the vintange gave a hand here. Along with the dark berry notes, there's bacon, game, and spice. I also get some nicoise olives. It is silky smooth on the palate with a bit of peppery spiciness. Well defining structure. Tannins are quite smooth. For the first time, this reminds me o high end Australian Shiraz. It does bring back memories of the Grange. Finish is medium plus. Best bottle I've had from Alain Graillot. Really enjoyed it.
