Château Gracia
Les Angelots du Gracia
St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2011
A wonderful discovery purchased in St. Emilion. Mostly Merlot, jammy, ripe dark berries, truffles and absolutely delicious. I found out that only 200 cases were produced per vintage. Wish we had purchased more!!! — 9 years ago
Château Gracia
Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
2005 vintage. Good fill. Beyond solid cork. Good amount + of sed. Decanted and tasted over the course of 2.5 hours. Medium heavy bod. Showed well (9.4) right out of the gate. Chunky fruit and tannins up front, structure in the back with no loss of purpose in the mid-palate. Darker fruits became more prominent at the hour decanted mark. Some stunningly beautiful notes amidst the maelstrom. First go-round with this producer. Impressive. 2.10.24. — 9 months ago

Domaine de Coquillon Bas Armagnac Bacco 1998
Roses, vainilla i xocolates. Fusta de barrica autèntica. Complexitat, rústic i no gaire alcohòlic. Equilibrat final. Una meravella. El seu germà gran, del 72, es mes refinat i mes "conyac"; per mi, no te tanta gracia. — 9 years ago

I thought Les Angelots de Gracia was the second wine of Gracia, the OG “garagiste” producer from Bordeaux. Well, I was today years old when I learned that was not the case, rather it is a unique expression made in the same fashion as Gracia, but highlighting different terroir. Whatever, the results are delicious.
Poured into a decanter about an hour before service. The 2011 Les Angelots de Gracia pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing but beginning to show some vinous qualities with notes of brambles, plums, tobacco, mocha, milk chocolate covered toffee, leather, fertile earth, gentle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose though it’s a little green on the finish (2011 vintage coming through?). But this is a really tasty wine if not on the more lean side…and that’s a compliment. Whether it’s the vintage or restraint or both, this is quite lovely!
For what it’s worth, I have never really sought out Michel Gracia’s elusive wines for two reasons: 1) I wouldn’t like the modern style and 2) they are elusive and expensive. As it turns out, only one of those things are true. These wines are delicious and worth the effort to seek out (and occasionally splurge for). Drink now with an hour decant and enjoy through 2031. — 9 months ago
