Chateau Petit Gravet Aine Grand Cru 2010 in 12er Holzkiste

Antonio Galloni: Full, bright ruby-red. Sexy aromas of black raspberry, mocha, violet and smoky minerality. Plush and pliant on the palate, but with nicely integrated acidity and supporting saline minerality giving clarity and lift to the intense black raspberry, mocha and graphite flavors. Nicely balanced wine with chewy ripe tannins and enough concentration of fruit to support its strong oak element. I've been a fan of this wine, which includes a very high 80% cabernet franc, for years. 91/100 (2013)
