Surprise. Fantastic balance. Nice tannin and acidity to match the slightly sweet dark fruit. Long aftertaste with good minerality and almost salty anis taste. If all well-priced bordeaux was like this.. drinks perfect now but still has many years.

bottle was given maybe 20 minutes of air time. Perhaps it needed more. Each tasted offered some candied/baked cherry's, a hint of 'earth' with medium body then after the swallow, the wine stopped...hit a wall. Little flavor followed after that first pass over the palate and it was almost bitter. Not sure if it was corked or flawed. but, at its low price-point, it's a roll of the dice

Quite good. Bordeaux dirty sox but more fruity and less tanins than more expensive. From Costco. Was 14 bucks. Great value. Rated even higher second day. — 9

Blind tasting of Grand Cercle wines 2011 vintage: Part I (Château Bellefont-Belcier): Stemmy nose. Lacks personality, a bit thin and unsubstantial and the finish echoes pyrazine...
