(94-96 points) The 2022 Château Gracia showed beautifully, with a vivid ruby/purple hue as well as a great notes of ripe blue fruits, spring flowers, violets, and chalky minerality. A rough blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, it's medium to full-bodied, has plenty of richness and power, and offers an overriding sense of purity and elegance. It's gorgeous wine from Michel Gracia's tiny 1.83-hectare vineyard.

(92 - 94 + points) The 2022 Gracia is composed of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it rocks up with eager-to-please notes of baked black plums, juicy blackberries, and fragrant earth, plus wafts of lavender and tilled soil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers spicy black fruit preserves with a plush texture and great length.

Concentrated, intense, clear tannic hold and architecture, this has some real astingency but also grip and character, and it's hard to resist the way they grab hold of the vintage and wrestle it to the ground, while always staying in control. Bitter chocolate, liqourice, slate, chalky tannins, high intensity maintains the volume from beginning to end, great estate signature, makes you smile. 80% new oak, 20% stainless steel vats.

(91-93 points) The 2022 Gracia is charming and crisp on the nose with copious red berry fruit, blackberry and briary scents, good vigor and definition. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and a gentle grip. It has a cohesive and persistent, blackcurrant pastilles-tinged finish. It is not the most complex Gracia, but it exudes thoughtful winemaking. - By Neal Martin on April 2023
