One of the few blockbuster wines in this vintage, Gracia’s 2011 exhibits an opaque blue/purple color along with gorgeous aromas of graphite, chalk, black currants, blueberries, camphor and a hint of truffles. Full-bodied and rich, with good acidity, this luscious St.-Emilion should drink well in 2-3 years and last for 15.

Ripe to overripe with 'confit', plum notes. Plush, sweet fruited palate yet chewy and drying on the finish. Drink 2015-2022. (15 points)
