Vintage 2015 | Right bank Bordeaux, brand of a large Belgium retailer. The back label does not give information about grapes, but says it should be drunk in 2 to 3 years. I kept it 8 years 🫣 and now it has a brown tuilé colour, beautiful tertiary tones in smell like autumn leaves, tobacco, leather. Supple taste of course. I like aged wines and I like this Blaye. More now than when I drank it in 2017 😏. Be contrary sometimes pays ☺️. Paired with ravioli filled with goatscheese and citruszeste, served with sage butter and grated Parmesan.

Vintage 2015 - astonishing p/q for this ‘petit Bordeaux’ from Blaye, Belgium bottling, true to type, spicy smell and spices continue in a smooth taste (tastes better on second day after aeration). The label doesn’t say, but presumably much merlot blended with CS.
