Bordeaux 2019 Brochure

9. Château Belle-Vue, Haut-Médoc “This fresher style of wine offers layers of black-currant acidity. They go with the ageworthy tannins to promise richness as the wine matures. Drink from 2025.” 92 pts, Wine Enthusiast 390933 $50 10. Château Bellegrave, Pomerol “The 2019 Bellegrave presents a well-defined nose of blackberry, raspberry, orange peel and light earthy scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite juicy at first, yet the structure defines the finish. It will need 4-5 years in the cellar, but there is good potential here. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2042.” 91 pts, Vinous 390912 $100 11. Château Beychevelle, St‑Julien (L) “Coming in close to equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with just a splash of Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Château Beychevelle shows a classic Saint-Julien purity and finesse-driven style as well as notes of red and blue fruits, sappy flowers, tobacco, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, I love its overall balance and purity of fruit, it has silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. This wine always has upfront appeal, but the 2019 will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and should have 30 years of overall longevity.” 95+ pts, Jeb Dunnuck 76196 6 bottle limit $220 12. Blason d'Issan, Margaux “This is a really beautiful, seductive wine with chocolate, walnuts, currants and some tobacco. Full-bodied, with a supple tannin texture and a flavorful finish. Succulent. Blend of 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon. Second wine of d’Issan.” (93-94) pts, James Suckling 390813, 390939 $70
