One of the few blockbuster wines in this vintage, Gracia’s 2011 exhibits an opaque blue/purple color along with gorgeous aromas of graphite, chalk, black currants, blueberries, camphor and a hint of truffles. Full-bodied and rich, with good acidity, this luscious St.-Emilion should drink well in 2-3 years and last for 15. Robert Parker (Wine Advocate #21, April 2014)
This pumps out exotic ganache, fig sauce and blackberry coulis notes, with a hefty frame of roasted vanilla and espresso hints. This ambitious version has a lot going on, but manages to pull it off. Best from 2015 through 2022. 415 cases made. – James Molesworth (WineSpectator.com, 2014)
This is well done with dark ripe fruits with plums and blueberries. Full and velvety with hints of chocolate. Plenty of fruit. A tiny bit hollow. – jamessuckling.com, March 2012
Black as tar. Fragrant with dark fruit and just a little leafy in a good way. Dark-earth fragrance. Firm, dry but with a cool fluid effect and has much better length than the Côte Baleu, just tasted. Sour freshness on the long finish. A little chewy but all in place. Bitter finish brings it down a little. But unlike many 2011 St-Émilions, lots of richness to balance the tannins. Drin: k 2017, 2025 – jancisrobinson.com, Feb 2015
