Château Bolaire
Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
On this Friday I am drinking a Bordeaux Superior from near Margaux. The aromas are giving me lavender, grape bubble yum, vanilla and cedar. My palate is telling me I am getting blackberries, black plum, and hints of Black pepper. You do get a long finish. The mix is 40% Petit Verdot, 31% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Sauvignon. A good bottle of wine for around $15 Bones.

Home-isolation pandemic angst and impatience drove me to open this wine perhaps a few years early as the 2016s are said to have aging potential. Even somewhat young this #bordeauxsuperior hailing from #hautmedoc delivers elegance at a great price. Cassis, some violet and graphite - classic layers from #petitverdot. I love PV and this Château blends 50% with 30% #merlot and 20% #cabernetsauvignon . In the mouth there’s juicy acidity, fresh blackberry and good power in the tannins. Found it at Costco a while ago for less than $15; talk about great QPR - should have picked up half a case at this price.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. Smooth and slightly peppery.
