This estate dating to the 12th century is enjoying a new era with recent releases, including this. The wine is dense and structured, packed with dark plum-skin flavors and rich tannins. It has a promising future and shouldn’t be drunk before 2025.
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential.
The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Olivier has a wonderfully intense perfume of kirsch, Black Forest cake, black raspberries and cassis, with suggestions of red roses, pencil shavings and underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of ripe, expressive black and red berry layers, supported by finely grained tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with great length and purity.

A beautiful, tight young wine, yet it delivers plenty of plum, chocolate, walnut and forest-floor character. It’s full-bodied, but so poised and refined. Nicely crafted. Try after 2023.

Lovely dark plum colour and rich texture. This has clear austerity and is still as discreet as it felt en primeur. Attractive smoke and even slight tar edging; really needs time to soften and show its more inviting fruits. 30% new oak and a yield of 40hl/ha. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040.

Singed applewood and licorice root notes lead the way in this slightly toothy version, with a mix of plum skin, cherry reduction, tar and bramble notes rambling through the finish. Burly now but it's all there; just cellar a bit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2032.

The 2018 Olivier has turned out well. Dark and powerful in the glass, the 2018 is loaded with dark fruit, chocolate, leather, spice, menthol, game and licorice. This burly Pessac-Léognan will drink well at the dinner table.
