A sleeper of the vintage, this lovely Cotes de Blaye is produced from low yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by gorgeous aromas of chocolate, blackberry and cherry fruit, and smoky oak. Sweet, rich, and concentrated, with excellent harmony and low acidity, this wine can compete with many selling for 2-3 times the price. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years.
