CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Malartic Lagraviere has a graceful and delineated bouquet that shows more precision and nascent vibrancy than most of its peers. It has blackberry, raspberry and light violet petal scents and an underlying marine influence that becomes more vocal with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, offering impressive balance. This "cool" Pessac-Leognan has a sapid finish that draws you back for more. It is excellent.

53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 2.5% Petit Verdot and 1.5% Cabernet Franc. Deep crimson. Smells dark and gravelly, almost savoury. Big, chewy tannins, powerfully structured yet filled out with fruit and the freshness pulls through on the finish. (JH)
