Les Gravières Du Taurou Grand Reserve VDP 2017 - Domaine de Ravanès

Dark burgundy red. Intense, delicate berries, red currants surrounded by tobacco, pepper and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate. A touch of wood, black berries, dried fruit, vanilla, caramel. This Gravière from a climatically difficult year was aged in barriques and tanks for 60 months and bottled in May 2023. A great wine that is already fun, but of which you can also store enough bottles, anyone who loves it gently tannic and fruity can already enjoy it now - but you should clarify in good time how many bottles you can bring with you to the retirement home until 2045-50, this wine vitalizes better than anything else imaginable. The wine is very scarce. A 1st batch arrived at Cavino on 16.5.23. Total production 1800 bottles of 70cl Jamie Goode from wineanorak.com would have every reason to repeat the young wine tasting of the world's best Merlot on September 29, 2004 in London with this wine. Merle aux Alouettes 1999, Alain Chabanon/Gil Morrot CARPE DIVEM with (16.08 points) ahead of Les Gravieres du Taurou 1999 by Marc Benin with (16.05 points) relegated the most expensive Château Pétrus 1999, Pomerol (15.92 points) to third place.
