Note di degustazione
The 2010 Château Gracia is absolutely brilliant, and along with the 2009, it might be the finest vintage I’ve tasted from this address. Still youthfully ruby-hued, it has a smorgasbord-like array of red and black currants, mulled cherries, truffly earth, leather, and smoky tobacco. This carries to a rich, full-bodied, unctuous Saint-Emilion that’s flawlessly balanced, has a deep, layered, seamless mouthfeel, nicely integrated, resolved tannins, and extraordinary length. A blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, savvy readers should jump on this tiny production release. It’s brilliant today (I followed this bottle for multiple days), yet it has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. Drink 2025-2045.

The 2010 Gracia has a deep blackberry and briary scented bouquet with touches of fig and dates, maybe just a little over-mature compared to others. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little gamey in style with juniper and allspice towards the chewy finish. This is just opening for business (but it's far from an almost perfect wine.) Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Gracia opens with notes of sweaty leather, smoked meats and tapenade over a core of baked plums, fruitcake and potpourri. Full-bodied, the palate has a racy line and firm, chewy tannins supporting the evolved, earthy fruit, finishing a little drying, tart and rustic.
