Château De La Grave Caractere 2012, Côtes De Bourg, Bordeaux A.C., France: Very sexy Merlot on the nose and palate from the sensational 2012 vintage. Seductive aromas of fleshy black plums and blackberries with some clove dust mingling in between. Pleasingly grip yet it's velvet smooth. Decant 1-2 hours. Pair with veal chops. Exceptional for the price. Drink: 2014-2020. 224683 13.50% D 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 91/100. May 28, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine. Plush Pork Wine Full Review
