CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Malartic Lagraviere is a showy, voluptuous wine. Racy and explosive, the 2019 certainly makes a strong first impression. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, spice and licorice abound. As always, Malartic is a pretty forward, succulent Pessac-Leognan, but the 2019 is a bit strict today. Whether that is the vintage speaking or a slight change in style, we will see.

Aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, charcoal and forest floor preface the 2019 Malartic Lagraviere, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming wine that's lively and elegant, built around bright acids and fine, powdery tannins. This has turned out nicely in bottle and shows good potential for improvement in the cellar.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Heady, luscious nose. It may lack Graves freshness on the palate - let s see it has - just - enough freshness, but is still very unformed and unintegrated. (JR)
