Offre découverte Wine in Black 'Tour de Bordeaux'

Decanter

For the second year running, Blaye has come storming into our Best in Show selection, and on this occasion with a Value wine from the exciting 2018 vintage. It was a warm and generous year, and you can read that generosity in the deep colours and vivacious aromatic ripeness which lifts from the glass. The wine is deep, round, ample and approachable on the palate, the primary plum and damson fruits just beginning to soften into something a little more savoury and meaty. There are, though, firm shaping tannins behind those prominent fruits; while the acidity is supple and fruit-packed. This sturdy Value Best In Show will certainly continue to evolve for another half-decade yet, and would show convincingly among peers of loftier price.

The tannins are nice polished here with caressing tannins and nice depth of fruit. Creamy and delicious already.

Decanter

Beautifully aromatic, with lovely, lifted floral notes, fresh raspberry and cassis, then to a supple palate dressed with dark chocolate, red pepper and delicious pure fruit. Light on its feet but bursting with flavour!

Tight and rich with ripe berries and dark chocolate. Some lavender and black-tea undertones. It’s full-bodied and round-textured. Ripe tannins.

The 2019 Vrai Canon Bouché shows terrific energy and focus. Dark cherry, plum, dried herbs, leather, licorice and dried flowers add layers of nuance as well as intrigue. The 2019 is so distinctive and full of character.

Robert Parker

Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Vrai Canon Bouché has a classic nose of warm plums, pencil shavings, cedar chest and blackberry preserves with hints of garrigue and clove oil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid foundation of firm, rounded tannins and bold freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing on a savory note.
