Weinwisser
55,9 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 41,3 % Merlot, 2,8 % Cabernet Franc, 46 hl/ha. Tiefes Purpurrot, satt in der Mitte. Delikates Bouquet mit exotischen Hölzern, edler Cassiswürze und hellem Tabak. Im zweiten Ansatz Szechuanpfeffer und Fliedernoten. Am eleganten Gaumen mit engmaschigem Tanningerüst, perfekt stützender Rasse und reifem Extrakt, alles am richtigen Platz. Im gebündelten Finale schnellt der Wein wie ein 100 m Sprinter nach dem Startschuss nach vorne und endet mit schwarzen Johannisbeeren und Graphit im Rückaroma. "A turning point at Malartic", meint der stolze Sohn, dem kann ich nur beipflichten – Well done, JJ Bonnie! 18,5/20 Punkte 

Wine Advocate 
Aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, charcoal and forest floor preface the 2019 Malartic Lagravière, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming wine that's lively and elegant, built around bright acids and fine, powdery tannins. This has turned out nicely in bottle and shows good potential for improvement in the cellar.

The 2019 Malartic Lagravière was picked from 17 September to 11 October at 46hl/ha and sees 65% new French oak for an intended 18 months. It has a lovely bouquet with disarming blackberry, briary and subtle marine scents, just a whiff of brine in the background from the distant Gironde estuary. The palate is medium-bodied with extremely fine tannins that frame the layers of blackberry, raspberry and orange rind notes. Satin-like in texture, this feels reassuringly long in the mouth with a dab of white pepper on the aftertaste. What an outstanding Malartic from the Bonnie family. Tasted from three bottles. 

James Suckling 
Very complex aromas of dark berries, mushrooms, earth, flowers and incense. Crushed stone, too. Full-bodied with very fine, refined tannins that are caressing and beautiful. It’s very, very long and persistent in the finish with subtle and complex flavors. This will deliver beauty with age. Drink after 2025.
