2016 Château La Grave à Pomerol, Trigant de Boisset

TASTING NOTES

"Ripe, polished and youthful strident, this sports a solid core of plum and cassis detail that is well-enmeshed with roasted apple wood, black licorice and sweet tobacco notes. The juicy finish has latent grip, with a great graphite edge, as it moves through with authority. For the cellar. Best from 2023 through 2036. 2,200 cases made." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 La Grave Trigant de Boisset is just a little pinched on the nose compared to some of its peers, perhaps showing just a touch of reduction. The well-balanced palate is conservative and linear, with supple tannin, a fine thread of acidity and a tensile finish. Usually this drinks fairly young, but the 2016 deserves three or four years in bottle and should give 15 years of drinking pleasure." Neal Martin, Vinous.com

"Really complex array of aromas with meat and veg evident. Intense and deep-flavoured. Lovely richness underneath. Yet with a massive charge of tannins for the future." JancisRobinson.com
