Rating for France-Bordeaux-Margaux: 98 (excellent)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

Here is your last chance to enjoy this top-performing Margaux that our customers have described as "Fabulous", "Great" and "Outstanding". the 2005 Graviers is as silky and seductive as ever, but with a depth and intensity that brings it to a new level of complexity. Layers of ripe berry fruit with savory herbal nuances and exotic spice notes. Down to our last allotment, you'll want to grab as much as you can before it's gone for good. The Cru Artisan designation making it even more exclusive than Cru Bourgeois. This 2005 is perhaps the best wine they have produced. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc from vines averaging 30 years old. It's been aged in oak barrels for 12 months. The production is very small for a Medoc wine, less than 4,000 cases were made. Can be decanted and enjoyed right now or aged for years to come.
