Château La Grave 2022

Supple and juicy with nicely textured tannins that give both a cool blue fruit, slate edge as well as some bounce. There’s such an ease about this, balanced and harmonious, nothing too much, it’s certainly not too opulent or tannic, but delivers an almost delicate take on the vintage. Linear and focussed, stylish and confident with a hint of the Pomerol power and seduction underneath. Nice potential here. Confident but quietly charming. I really like it. Drinking window: 2027-2045. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
