Paul Barre Château La Grave 2011

Blog

I would like to revisit this wine, perhaps from a less challenging vintage. As such the 2011 Paul Barre Château La Grave is somewhat austere, requiring ample time to open. Initially reserved aromas of black cherries, plums, and red currant are followed underbrush and earth. The attack is soft, giving way to fine, powdery tannins and high-toned, tart acidity that co-mingles with swirling and subdued tones of ash and dried leaves. 13.0% ABV | Sample
