La Gravette de Certan 2018

This wine starts off airy and open, with aromas of crushed flowers, violets, spiced plums, and raspberries, along with hints of wet clay, nutmeg, sweet tobacco, sweet spices, and mild liquorice.

On the palate, it is rich and rounded, offering spiced fruit with smooth, ripe tannins. Despite being full-bodied, it maintains excellent focus for a second wine. It is both delicious and enjoyable, striking a balance between serious and fun. It needs a couple of hours to fully develop. Initially, it may seem singular and boozy, but it becomes more open and expansive with time.
