Note di degustazione
One of the under-the-radar jewels of the year, the 2015 Bolaire has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, grilled herbs and lavender add character to this dark, fleshy Petit Verdot-based wine. All the elements are impeccably balanced. What a gorgeous wine this! Best of all, the 2015 is a smashing value.

Blended of 60% Petit Verdot, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Bordeaux Superieur has a seriously animal-scented nose with a meaty, savory character and nuances of cassis, red cherries, black plums plus a hint of bark. Medium-bodied, firm and chewy, with lovely bright fruit, it has wonderful freshness and a long, savory finish.
This is layered and very pretty with berries, currants and hints of dark chocolate. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now or hold.
Previous owned by the late Vincent Mulliez (who owned Belle-Vue), Château Bolaire is in the southern part of the Médoc and consists of very old vines of Petit Verdot Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2015 Château Bolaire is another outstanding gem in the vintage and is a unique blend of 60% Petit Verdot, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Giving up lots of black cherries, cedary spice and lead pencil nuances, it’s a medium-bodied, shockingly elegant and charming for a Petit Verdot, has plenty of character, and will keep for a decade. While I don’t know the price, I suspect it’s a smokin’ value.
