One more cold night calls for claret, as does baseball season day two. Eight years of age shows peeking through the dark brick red rim; blackberries, cassis, sweet cedar box, fine graininess in texture & some serious tannins Uber coating my palate- gave it a brief decant but truly can benefit. Air brings out its sweeter dimensions & raspberry compote. 100% Merlot & at 14$& change, a no brainer. Love Bordeaux bargains.

Vintage 2015 / Good wine for the cellar with potential. Raspberry impression, mocca. Roundness from 100% merlot. Blaye Bordeaux has interesting wines that can develop for 10/15+ years in excellent vintages.
