Well-packed, with fleshy fig, boysenberry and blackberry paste flavors that pump through, underscored by a warm charcoal note and a tug of earth that develops as this opens up. This hasn't integrated fully yet, but will be especially solid when it does. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Greatest La Grave for me. Fantastic depth of fruit and power yet so silky and fresh. Bright light energy to this. Mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

A Jean-Pierre Moueix wine. 9 ha (22 acres) of gravel and fine clay. 91% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc. Deep crimson. Heady and rather compelling on the nose. Some lift and sinew. Not dramatic or flashy but very comfortable to drink. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2035
