Chateau Malartic Lagraviere, Pessac-Leognan, France 2016 Bordeaux Blend White dried flowersI love the deep and complex nose, in which the cassis and mint of cabernet sauvignon are beautifully married to the more generous blackberry of ripe merlot and the vanilla and toasty notes from the oak are marvelously integrated. On the palate it creeps up on you slowly; the first impression is ripe yet delicate, then the fine grained tannins charge through and light up the sky. Very long finish. 96 Pts James Suckling
