Château Bellefont Belcier 2010

There's a nice charcoal note driving this from the start, while the dark plum, blackberry and black currant fruit waits in reserve. Ganache, licorice snap and tobacco fill in the finish and give this added range, while a singed alder wood note runs underneath for added texture and length. Impressive. Best from 2015 through 2030. Score - 93. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, March 31, 2013) 750 mL bottle
