Description
Tasting Note Belgrave is deep, concentrated and almost black in appearance. On the bouquet, aromas of ripe blackcurrant and dark fruits interplay with super fresh minty notes. On the palate, the wine reveals typical vintage character of freshness and ripeness in perfect balance. As bright as a chiming bell, the wine is pure and delicate. Generous with a backbone of fine-grained, silky tannins which seem to coat the sides of the mouth. This eloquent wine culminates in a long, fruity, harmonious finish.
