"The 2021 Belgrave is a tasty Haut-Médoc. Black cherry, gravel, graphite, cloves and licorice infuse the 2021 with quite a bit of complexity. This potent, virile Haut-Médoc should blossom nicely with a few years in bottle. I very much like the vibrancy here." von ANTONIO GALLONI

"The 2021 Belgrave was picked from September 27 to October 7 and contains a little more Cabernet this year - it was aged in 29% new oak. The nose takes its time opening, revealing blackberry, touches of black pepper and menthol, all fresh and vibrant and the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with insistent grip on the entry. Quite Saint-Julien in style (no surprise given its vines border the appellation), with fine structure and salinity on the finish. Maybe just a little short, but I admire its classicism and sapidity." von NEAL MARTIN
