Le Comte de Malartic Rouge | Pessac Léognan
Red wine | France, GRAVES | 2020
This is the new name for
the second wine of Malartic
Lagraviere. Sporting a deep
purple-black color, it rolls
nonchalantly out of the glass
with notes of plum preserves,
warm cassis and redcurrant jelly,
plus hints of pencil lead, mossy
tree bark and ground black
pepper. The medium to fullbodied
palate delivers mouth-coating,
uncomplicated, juicy black fruits,
framed by lovely freshness and
soft tannins, finishing with a
peppery lift
