Château La Grave 2020 – Pomerol

The nose is spicy with dry power and some intensity. There is accuracy in the notes of bright wild blackberries, small black berries and small notes of black pepper associated with touches of lily, racy minerality as well as a hint of graphite and toast. The palate is fruity with minerality and accuracy. There is freshness and a slight tension as well as a slight roundness that accompanies notes of juicy and pulpy blackberries, crushed blackcurrants and small notes of raspberries associated with touches of lily, cornflower as well as hints of tonka bean and chocolate. We also perceive notes of graphite and vanilla. There is density, richness with solar notes and some darkness. On the retro-olfaction  a hint of cocoa appers. Good length.
