The 2014 Château Petit Gravet Aîné is also terrific. A blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, this deeply colored 2014 shows the more reserved, classic style of the 2014 vintage, yet certainly does not come up short on depth or concentration. Black raspberries, currants, acacia flowers, toasty oak, and graphite, as well as background minerality, all emerge from this beautiful, medium to full-bodied, layered Saint-Emilion that has a great mid-palate, a ripe, sexy texture, and building tannin. With both terrific complexity and beautiful richness, give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following two decades.
