2000 Bellevue - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

2000 Bellevue :  Bellevue has an excellent saturated purple colour. sweet black cherry and currant fruit intermingled with smoke and toast. The mouth at this stage is still quite tannic and mineral but also shows great freshness and considerable fat. Enough acidity to guarantee a 10 - 15 years ageing (2010 - 2014). An interesting challenge for the new Director Nicolas Thienpont! (Pavie-Macquin / Larcis Ducasse). 88/100.
