  April 7, 2019 - A busily complex wine, even a rich one, with all sorts of things going on, but almost none of those things are fruit. If you like Belair you'll be instantly entranced by all those things keeping your nose in the glass but at the same time it's hard not to admit that this might be almost too edgy. I'm reluctant to use the term vegetal because that usually connotes something green, and this is not that, but if you shift your frame of vegetality to snappy root vegetables and slightly bitter botanicals you might be closer to zeroing in on this. It retains a very healthy deep red color and a generous amount of flesh though, so it's very far from experiencing any age-related decay. This would be interesting to slot in a vertical from the chateau for an almost extreme take on what makes it interesting but as a standalone wine it might be too much even for me.
