Château Malartic-Lagravières Cru Classè Graves 2010

Flaschenbewertung (März 2013):
"Lead pencil shavings, soy and barbecue smoke as well as red and black currants characterize this brilliant effort, which has an expansive, full-bodied mouthfeel yet a sublime elegance and lightness of being. Dense ruby/purple, gorgeous purity and a long, long finish of close to 50 seconds characterize another brilliant effort from this classified growth in Pessac-Leognan. It should drink nicely for 25-30 years yet is surprisingly accessible even today.
A fabulous blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this large (nearly 120-acre) estate near Haut-Bailly and Branon has tuned out another fabulous effort in 2010."

Fassbewertung (Mai 2011):
"A beautiful wine from proprietor Alexandre Bonnie’s 115-acre vineyard, this blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot hit 14% natural alcohol. The Cabernet Sauvignon harvest was late, ending on October 18. The wine’s dense purple color is followed by aromas of vanillin, smoked herbs, tobacco leaf, black currants and blackberries. This rich, elegant Pessac-Leognan is loaded with potential. It should drink well in 3-4 years and evolve for 20-25."

Rene Gabriel [WeinWisser #05/2011]:
"Extrem sattes Purpur mit violetten Reflexen. Süsses Bouquet, Amarenakirschen, Red Currant, Anklänge von Rumtopffrüchten, florale Cabernet-Noten. Schon fast samtener Fluss, stoffiges Extrakt, frische Beerenaromatik, mittlerer Druck im Finale."
