Grave (Pomerol) other_regions_italy essence of raspberry and plumThis estate tends to produce light, fruity, but often superficial Pomerols. The 2011 has plenty of up front appeal, but slightly more depth than expected. The color is a healthy dark saturated ruby, and the wine displays plenty of caramel, black cherry, spice box and earth notes. Drink it over the next decade.
