Domaine de la Solitude Pessac-Leognan•2018

Gravelly earth and dark berry fruit give the 2018 Domaine de la Solitude Pessac-Léognan a confident, classic Graves character, with cassis, blackberries and red currant layered over cedar, tobacco leaf and a faint ferrous edge. Medium to full in body, it feels refined rather than heavy, with firm but polished tannins that frame a long, savory, slightly stony finish that promises even more complexity with time in bottle.
