Château Belgrave 5th GCC

TASTING NOTES

Attractive, deep garnet in colour. Highly perfumed on the nose offering complex aromas of fresh red fruit notes, spices and precious woods. A fine tannic structure for such a generous, velvety, highly-concentrated palate. This wine reveals freshness and elegance in true Saint-Julien style – a very attractive wine.
