Chateau Bellegrave, Pauillac, 2018
Black currants, savory herbs, cedar, and tobacco form the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, chewy, crunchy, and crisp, with a strong, savory, and peppery edge. This is quite classic, old-school in style, that some tasters will like more than others. Drink from 2026-2042. 90-92
Description
The weather conditions at the start of the growing season were particularly difficult, but the end result is wonderful. The fact that we were able wait patiently and harvest the grapes ‘à la carte’ meant that we could extract their quintessential fruitiness. Round, concentrated, and well-balanced with an impressive freshness on the palate, 2018 is unquestionably one of the greatest vintages of the 21st century.
