Château La Grave 2023

The 2023 La Grave is a powerful, somewhat rustic Pomerol. It offers good upfront richness, yet the tannins feel a bit angular. Gravel, spice, licorice and menthol appear over time, but La Grave is quite reticent in its feel. Drinking window: 2026-2038. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
