The color is almost black, with dark red highlights and a subtle purple edging. The nose, complex and of a beautiful freshness, opens on empyreumatic notes, enriched with powerful aromas of black fruits. From the attack, the mouth is very coated, signed by an elegant, powerful and tight structure, with silky and intense tannins. It evolves towards an impressively long finish, with nicely woody notes.
Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Belgrave gives up baked cherries, mulberries, stewed plums and forest floor scents with camphor and spice box nuances. Medium to full-bodied, soft and fleshy on the palate, it has a spicy/raisin cake finish.
