2018 Château Roquegrave, Médoc
https://www.laithwaites.co.uk/images...t/3775318b.png
Château Roquegrave is a family owned estate, comprising 30 hectares of vineyards planted on a high plateau with a commanding view of the Gironde estuary. With an average age of 25 years, the vines are carefully tended by winemaker and owner Pierre Yves Joannon.
2018 was not expected to be a good year for Bordeaux, as many vineyards were caught out by the humid conditions of spring. Low yields and great summer weather right through to harvest, however, has ensured exceptional quality – "legends in the making" wrote RobertParker.com. So a rich, complex claret, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a splash of Petit Verdot, all aged in fine French oak. A supple Bordeaux, worthy of its acclaim.
14% ABV About £15 a bottle
Trying the Isle of Raasay again tonight, a little bit smoke, very pleasant and another one of the young malts, at best 5 year old for me not as good as Ledaig or Ardnamurchan .
yeah pretty young stuff. nice bottle thoQuote:
