Natural Cork

Tight tannins still evident at this stage, it's not as generous as Blason normally is when young, and the acidity is a little higher than usual, reflecting the vintage. This is counterbalanced by tons of crisp red fruits, redcurrant and red cherry flavours with gentle chargrilled oak notes, and is enjoyable for drinking over the next four to eight years, although best to give it another year from now to soften the tannins. Bottled May 2019. The first vintage of this second wine came in 1994, launched fully in 1995, and typically accounts for around 50% of the production of any one year, with young vines coming from the Clos aswell as further the plots near to the commune of Arsac. 30% new oak.
