Description Château Belgrave 2016.
An intense purple La robe nectar, the wine reveals an intense, complex bouquet of blackcurrants, blackberries and jammy black cherries.
After aeration, it's also possible to perceive a hint of tobacco as well as woody nuances.
On the palate, the attack is full and powerful, followed by a smooth evolution.
The tannins are fine, velvety and there are delicious aromas of very ripe, even caramelized fruit. On the finish, a hint of acidity balances the whole, leaving us with a pleasant sensation on the palate.
