This very attractive Blaye develops a fine aromatic palette, with notes of ripe red fruit, spicy nuances and a hint of cocoa. A supple, round, well-balanced red with a solid structure. The perfect companion for lamb chops, pan-fried or grilled to taste!

Note and review by M. TIMOTHEE B. Published on 19/07/2014
Ripe, aromatic nose (red fruit). Round, greedy and supple on the palate, yet with good acidity for good length. A pleasant wine offering excellent value for money.
