Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Malartic Lagraviere has a nose of prunes, dried figs and leather with nuances of cherry cough syrup, sassafras and camphor. Full-bodied, the mid-palate is a little dried out while the tannins are pretty darn chewy, finishing a tad hard.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2026
Tasted blind. Deep garnet. Rich, savoury and charry on the nose. Smoky (reductive or oaky?). Massive power and not typically Pessac but impressive in balanced power. Really dense and chewy. (JH)

The 2010 Malartic-Lagraviere comprises a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. It has a composed and confident bouquet with blackberry, briary, slate and cedar scents that are wonderfully detailed, though the aromatics remain quite backward. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, pure blackberry and bilberry notes infused with cedar, allspice and black pepper. There is great depth and poise to this 2010 and it deserves another couple of years because it is a great wine in the making. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Malartic-Lagraviere.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2045
