Belle Croix

with that said

Put this bottle aside in your cellar for the decades to come

A pretty combination of red currant

The palate is full and firm with lovely vivacity and loads of mineral sparks

Bond, Vecina other_regions Belle CroixSaturated medium ruby. Cool perfume of blackberry, licorice, spices and black pepper. Suave and fine grained but still quite tight, showing little in the way of easy sweetness but also avoiding the greenness that plagues some 2008s. Although youthfully imploded, savory and dry, this powerfully tannic, mineral driven wine spreads out on the back end to coat the palate. Stephen Tanzer
