The 2016 Bolaire is a gorgeous Bordeaux Supérieur from vineyards in Macau. Leather, smoke, tobacco and graphite all wrap around a core of dark fruit. Energetic and vibrant in the glass, Bolaire offers superb complexity and nuance at this level. A high percentage (50%) of Petit Verdot makes for a fabulous complement to the Merlot that makes up the other half of the blend. This is yet another absolutely delicious, budget friendly Bordeaux to savor at the dinner table.
