2006 Château Belle-Vue (Haut-Médoc)

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

89 Points

Friday, December 28, 2012 - Initially some reduction on the nose but this blew off. Nose has some black currants and blackberry, cedar spice, and hint of leafy herbs bordering on pipe tobacco. Palate has repeating black fruit and plum notes, with an inital atack of bell pepper. Coarse tannins and a moderate chocolate and earth finish. A very nice Haut-Medoc in a slightly forward style--and given the $10 price point, this is a steal. A bury rather than elegant wine. Drinks well now with air but should be at it's best in 3-5yrs. 89-90
