2008 - Chateau Les Gravieres

"One of the finest efforts yet produced by this estate, the 2008 Les Gravieres was cropped at a low 27 hectoliters per hectare. It possesses an opaque ruby/purple hue in addition to a sweet bouquet of forest floor, spring flowers, black raspberries, and black currants, full body, the vintage’s tell-tale density, sweet tannin, and surprisingly crisp acids. This luscious St.-Emilion came in at 13% natural alcohol." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 91-93 pts.
