Tasting Notes
Vinous 87?
The 2016 Gracia has an exotic bouquet that is showing some VA compared with its peers. The palate is very sweet on the entry, rounded and plush, a little cloying in style, with a sweet candied blueberry and cassis finish that is trying a bit too hard. Disappointing: this seems to have fallen apart in recent years. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Robert Parker 94+
The 2016 Gracia is composed of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is a little closed at this stage with crushed red and black plums, black cherries, cedar chest, lilacs and truffles plus a waft of violets. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy and fresh with minerally notions on the finish. Less than 600 cases produced.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2044
