96 points,"Very complex aromas of dark berries, mushrooms, earth, flowers and incense. Crushed stone, too. Full-bodied with very fine, refined tannins that are caressing and beautiful. It's very, very long and persistent in the finish with subtle and complex flavours. This will deliver beauty with age."- James Suckling 96 points,"The 2019 Château Malartic-Lagravière showed brilliantly, with an elegant, pure, flawlessly balanced style. Giving up ripe black cherry, currants, tobacco leaf, and spicy oak, with textbook Graves scorched earth, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a beautiful layered, seamless mouthfeel,great tannins, and one heck of a great finish."- Jeb Dunnuck 95 points,"The 2019 Malartic Lagravière presents a refined nose of blackberry, raspberry, cedar and light estuarine aromas, very well defined and focused. The palate is framed by fine-grained tannins, and the pure blackberry and raspberry notes are laced with blood orange. Maybe just a little more granular in texture than before, butstill wonderfully balanced, with great length and nobility. This will age with style. A sophisticated Pessac-Léognan with a lot of potential."- Antonio Galloni's Vinous According to Wine Advocate, quality has"soared to exceptional heights"at Château Malartic-Lagravière - which is under the ownership of the Belgian Bonnie family - over the last decade. And this wine is certainly proof of that. Just look at the score to price ratio. It dances across the palate with smoky hedgerow berries, figgy fruitcake, graphite, chocolate, and polishedoak. Silken, lean, graceful and cerebral. Don't be mistaken, this is a heavy hitter, but more Bruce Lee than Mike Tyson. An elegant sparring partner for Wagyu beef, foraged-mushroom Stroganoff and richly umami dishes.£8.27 per 100.00ml
