Château Belgrave 2019 – Haut-Médoc 5ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is racy, spicy and offers a fine intensity/concentration. There are notes of pulpy wild blackberry, pulpy raspberry and more slightly cardamom combined with fine hints of tonka bean, crushed ripe berries as well as a subtle hint of bergamot and a very discreet pepper. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, acidity, a nice guideline and a fine tension. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of crisp/juicy red berries, juicy/pulpy blackberry and slightly juicy/fresh cherry combined with hints of violet, lily, tonka bean and fine toasted notes. The tannins are smooth and precise. The wine is gourmet and has a subtle chewiness on the finish. Delicate, with some salinity/sapidity on the finish.
