Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

Medium

Cork

A strong and brooding nose, powerfully aromatic - dried flowers, herbs, black fruit and liquorice. Plenty of heft and muscle here, tannins make the first impact, filling the mouth but the fruit while ample has lovely clarity to it. Cherries, strawberries join liquorice and a touch of dark chocolate as well as wet stones. Nicely made with lots of interesting points. Cool, quietly charming, ripe but still fresh. I like this a lot. 10% of Petit Verdot and 10% of Malbec complete the blend.
