About the wine:
Pleasant, deeply concentrated fruit and spice, blackcurrant, rosemary, slate, pleasant texture rising through the finish, some salinity through the finish too, mouthwatering. Drink between 2020-2028.

A very good Blaye, I'd give it 5 if I took the appellation into account, it's a simple, good Bordeaux that everyone agrees on.
