Impressive nose with leather dark polished fruit and flowers. Wonderful mouthfeel with soft silky tannins and beautiful texture. Really well put together. Powerful and rich with loads of fruit and ripe tannins. Very ripe.
The 2010 Malartic-Lagravière has a classic Left Bank bouquet with cedar and tobacco infused black fruit that unfurl nicely in the glass and gain intensity with every swirl. The palate is silky smooth on the entry a satin textured Pessac-Léognan with well judged acidity and an intense black cherry and blueberry finish a tang of sea salt on the aftertaste. Excellent.

We were very much in the years here where Malartic was flexing its muscles and rising through the ranks of Pessac Léognan. With this wine you get not just potential for future development from this point but also tons of pleasure if drinking today. Clear depth and concentration on display - you just keep on drilling down and finding more truffle black pepper and chocolate notes alongside the fruit.

Malartic delivers in both 2009 and 2010 and this is just totally class Pessac - charcoal black tea cinnamon intense cassis puree bilberry cocoa bean muscular tannins that are still fully in control. TASTED BY JANE ANSON - 16 SEPTEMBER 2024
