Critic Scores
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. -James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
The 2015 La Grave a Pomerol, a blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, has an almost stoic, tertiary bouquet at first, living up to its name with touches of gravel coming through the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, cohesive in the mouth, here a mixture of red and black fruit that segue nicely into a composed, saline finish. There is a touch more breeding to this La Grave-a-Pomerol than recent vintages - one to watch out for. -Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
The 2015 La Grave is a powerful, intense wine with plenty of fruit and equally imposing tannins. Far from an easygoing Pomerol, the 2015 is going to need time to fully meld together. Today, it is the wine's persistence that is most impressive of all. The style is powerful, earthy and ferrous. There is no shortage of personality or character, that much is obvious. La Grave is 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous
