Tasting notes
This is a successful 1993 red Graves. A saturated, inky purple color is more reminiscent of a great year than a so-so vintage such as 1993. In addition to the impressive color saturation, the wine offers a penetrating, tobacco leaf, blackcurrant, licorice, and smoky fragrance. Medium-bodied, with moderate tannin, this well-endowed, youthful wine is approachable, but it will benefit from another 1-3 years of aging. It should be an atypically long-lived 1993. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2015.

Delicious raspberry and blackberry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and succulent, adding fine tannins and a sweet fruit finish. Better in 1997. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1996.
