Blackberries, black currants, spearmint, and a hint of dark chocolate form the core of this wine. Medium-bodied, crunchy, and juicy, with plenty of currants in every sniff, and sip. Just a year or so in the bottle, and this will be easy to enjoy for at least 15 years or more. Drink from 2028-2040. 90-92 Pts

Dark in color, you find all the tobacco, cigar box, wet earth, cedar and peppery scents needed to create the nose. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, round and fresh, delivering a boatload of ripe, juicy blackberries and cassis. This is a supple-styled Belgrave that one should age for at least 5-7 years and enjoy over the next 15-20 years with ease. 91-93 Pts

The wine has depth of flavor and a big blast of sweet, chewy fruits on the palate and in the end note. You should age this for at least 5 years and enjoy it over the next 15-20 years with ease.

Charming, old-school claret with a light, rose hip tea color. The nose exudes strawberries, dried flowers, cedar, tobacco and peppery cassis. The palate is light,and high-toned, with raspberries, strawberries and bright currants with an herbal accent. This is a lighter-styled classic Left Bank Bordeaux that served blind, I thought it was from the 70s. Drink from 2024-2026.
