Château Haut Grela, Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux, 2020

(at Blaye, Bordeaux, 23 Jan 2024)
Drinking Window: 2026 - 2030
Round and full, fleshy almost in the slightly chewy blackcurrant and red cherry fruits, but offset by really quite high acidity that has a dominant mineral tinge to it. Quite a metallic aspect on the finish alongside liquorice, slate and some toasted aromas. Feels quite a pushed style, a little over extracted perhaps and overripe, plus a bit constricted by the oak.
