Plums and oak in a forward, modern fashion. Soft, plush palate, easy to drink, some tannic structure left, but otherwise pretty shallow and one dimensional. Grapey, drying out finish. Something to lighten up a grey, cold Monday, but not much more here. 14/20

Tasted blind. Pop and pour. Deep, pure color. Nose of ripe apple, black cherry, and mulch. Palate has dark cherry with baking spice, along with some stoniness and raw dough hints in aftertaste. A little rustic.

Helder rood van kleur, licht troebel. In de neus beetje inkt, vanille, kersen en cassis. Lekker mondgevoel. De wijn is ongefiltreerd en geeft samen met de stevige tannines een beetje stroeve aanzet die wel gecompenseerd wordt met zachte zuren en mooie fruitige tonen van rijpe mango, zoete kers en rijpe rode paprika. Typische kruidigheidvan kaneel en een beetje droge veldbloemen, beetje aards, truffel en klein bittertje van pure cacao. Goede afdronk. 14% alcohol is er niet aan af te proeven

Forward, easy drinking, medium bodied, already tasty concoction of ripe, juicy, sweet plums, licorice, espresso and coffee bean. A bit oaky in the finish, this is a true wine of easy pleasure, and not a wine for long term aging. The wine was made from blending 72% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Blind tasting of Grand Cercle wines 2011 vintage: Part II (Château Bellefont-Belcier): Oak stave on the nose. This has moderate intensity of flavor, again with rather dominant tannin. The finish is medium length a bit hard but not drying. 85. Score higher if you like oak.
