    Chateau Belgrave Haut-Medoc 2010/14

    Written by Helen Wilson

    This Bordeaux has a ripe Cabernet nose, good depth of fruit and is even a little chocolaty. Smooth and ripe, tannins blending in and adding balance to the rich fruit. It's a charming, well-rounded wine with good persistence. Not hugely complex but a well rounded flavour.
