Chateau Belgrave 2014

Weinwisser: "66 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 % Merlot, 2 % Petit Verdot. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Dichtes, gebündeltes Bouquet, sehr aromatisch, besonders vom Untergrund her, zeigt bereits jetzt erste Trüffelnoten und Zedern, Tabak. Die Frucht kommt erst im Gaumen so richtig zum Zug, viel Brombeeren, fleischig und doch recht fein von den Tanninen her. Genial gelungen und ein sehr guter Grand-Cru-Wert."

James Suckling: "Black fruit but also some chocolate and spices on the nose. This is quite a rich and fleshy wine that’s built on a bigger scale than most of the wines of this appellation. The finish is simultaneously rich and dry."

Wine Enthusiast: "From the flagship Médoc estate of Bordeaux negociant Dourthe, this wine is impressive, ripe and ready to age well. The wood aging still shows slightly but that is already compensated for by the ripe black-currant fruits from the 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and the generous texture. Drink this wine from 2023."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Boasting dark fruits and firm tannins, this wine has a forward personality filled with smoke, tobacco, black cherry, earth and cassis."
