Tasting Notes

Aromas of sweet black cherries interwoven with notions of tapenade, loamy soil, smoke, and charcoal emerge from this medium-bodied, elegant, stylish offering. While not terribly concentrated, it is charming as well as refreshingly delicate yet authoritatively flavored. Sweet tannin and a silky style suggest it may put on weight and merit a higher score in several more years. It should keep for 12-18 years.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (171), June 2007

Offering up aromas of sweet, smoky black cherries, dried herbs, high class cigar tobacco, and plenty of spice, the medium-bodied, ethereal, delicate 2004 exhibits loads of complexity, moderate weight, and light tannin in its attractive finish. Drink it over the next 12-13 years.

87/89
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (165), June 2006

A sweet, graceful, elegant wine with no hard edges, this savory, medium-bodied, seductive Graves possesses a dark plum/ruby/purple color in addition to a sweet nose of currants, cherries, and smoke, beautiful purity, and lovely length. Drink this sleeper of the vintage over the next 12-15 years.
