Tuesday, June 12, 2018 - 2009 Château Malartic-Lagravière (France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan) Cru Classe; Cork Finished; via Coravin/Riedel Cab Sauv/Le Cache; Dorothy Lane Market, Oakwood, 14pabv. Cutting Edge Wines.

Plum color, translulcent, edging to 2 mm, profusely teary. Blueberry (mixed 'brambleberries'), rose, violet, perhaps anthranilate. Peppery, juicy, bright entry, cranberry bitters mid-palate, and nicely judged tannin. Oak absorbed to a nicely judged place.

A modern, sculpted, highly expressive Graves, both pretty and drinking beautifully right now. Drink now-2020.
