Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inFood, WineTags:, , ,

Blaye is where affordability and quality can happily co-exist.

Aroma: Blackberry, blueberry, chocolate and licorice.

Palate: The long finish is the first factor that meets your palate. Gentle tannins. Some chalkiness. Where’s the fruit?

Personality: I am about as exciting as a day-old baguette.

Food Match: Scrambled eggs with grilled tomatoes and Mennonite summer sausage slices. Quaff after a chomp or two on the sausage.

Price: $15.

Cellarbility: None.

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 83/100. Wine Align 87.
